March 23, 200917 yr Just thought I'd bring this up here as I have never seen this happen before. The Second round of the A & B Nationals was held at Bracken Rocks under the Mansfield Maun club a couple of weeks ago. It seems that EMRA are intending to use Bracken for the fourth round in May. I haven't seen this before and wondered why it was happening??
March 23, 200917 yr Purely out of interest, you did ask the question earlier here. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....showtopic=24196 I am interested as to why it may be a concern? With land issues etc it must be better to have the number of rounds than not.
March 23, 200917 yr Author Not many delve into the Murk that is Youth Trials And given that the feedback is that a fair number of clubs tried getting a date and were unsuccessful why visit the same venue twice??
March 23, 200917 yr Two different clubs both of whom have a right to hold a round but coincidentally use the same venue. You obviously have a bee in your bonnet about it - speak to the ACU if you feel that strongly. Im sure they will give you the same answer.
March 23, 200917 yr I would have thought much more of an issue is the significant distance minders/catchers were supposed to do at the otter vale event this last weekend????????????///

EMRA do not need to use Bracken Rocks and previously have successfully used other venues. Bracken is a good venue but for a national Trials series once a year is enough. And Dabster I know exactly what you mean. Two sets of sections split by a walk of a mile or so is not fair on the minders. Otter vale do a Good trial but if the riders want to wait for their Minder the best you can do is take about 15 minutes to get between 1 and 8 and 13 and 1. Clubs have to remember that because the minder CANNOT have a bike the distance between sections has to be considered.
