Here's a thing. I ride in the South Midlands centre and occasionally in the East Midlands, primarily to ride the Peterborough trials. Happy with all this and have no problem getting a calendar of events; my club (Cambridge Matchless) has an excellent website with a list of all the South Midlands events and the east midlands centre of the ACU has a similar website.

Here's the tricky bit. I have persuaded a mate to take up the sport and he lives in Gosport darn sarf. He doesn't have any experience so is hardly likley to know the clubs and leading lights in his area. This is unlikely to help much anyway as we'd like to ride trials towards the north of the southern centre so we both don't travel for ages. I don't really know the area either.

I've now spent ages trying to find a list of Southern Centre dates, but can't seem to uncover one.

Whilst I was looking, I found a club affiliated to the AMCA that looks geographically suitable. I checked the AMCA website to find a similar lack of information.

The TMX website events listings appear very incomplete too, so I can't rely on that either!

Even this fine forum does not seem to have a complete calendar!

I'm starting to think that it might be a secret!

Does anyone know where there is a list of:

a) Southern Centre dates

AMCA dates?

Thanks so much

Graham

If you are a member of a South Midland club you should be able to order the TSM mag which has the entry forms for all the ACU events in the S. Midland, South Eastern & Southern centres.

S E Centre events for 09 are here. http://www.southeasttrialscombine.org.uk/s...dates_2009.html

Check the AMCA page in TMX for their events

Thanks Jordi,

Only problem with that is that we were holding off joining a club until we knew what their dates were so we could see what we wanted to do! It's a bit 'chicken and egg', isn't it?

What we were hoping for is a nice list like the one that CM MCC publish so we could put the 2 side by side and decide which is the best club for us both to join, and then which trials to enter.

South Estern is OK, as you pointed out, the combine has a nice list. However, that's a centre that neither of us live in!

Graham

does not matter if you live in the centre you can still join a south eastern club and ride there events . on the amca side look at bognors website they run a full year of trials , they also combine with the south cost group which run trials from eastbourne to petersfield.

the website has not got the 2009 dates yet but we have recieved them in the news letter so they will be posted soon.

Erm, not just for travelling, I gather...

Thanks Tilertrialler, the AMCA stuff is useful.

I know what you are saying about joining any club, but a list would have told me if any clubs have a particularly cool series that is Closed to Club. Cambridge MCC has a great summer eveing series that is club only, it may be that there is a similar thing darn that way.

I think, though, I'll just join one selected by poking a pin in me laptop screen!
