And another.................IDMCC are holding a Club Trial next weekend (which is part of our Club Championship) approx, 250 miles away from your event. I can guarantee that if we didn't run it, no-one would travel the 200+ miles each way for a National. A few die hard triallers come down to your Scottish Champ events but the bulk of our membership are quite happy to pootle about locally.
I'm afraid it is a sign of the times, even if we don't have anything on, only a very few will travel, and that would be to an Adult or Support Championship event.
We as a Club try to satisfy our membership with what they want, but one thing we don't do, is have a Club Trial if a neighbouring Club is running a National.
Observers..............well that's another saga.............our Club riders must supply an observer at our nationals or they don't get a ride! Sign of the times again.......too many other things to do on a Sunday, wives/girlfriends go shopping, mates find something better than standing on a wet and windy hill.
