What a great idea by the Cumberland Club.

As a boy I can remember watching numerous Alan Trophy's and many centre rounds like the Dixie Dee at Newbiggin.

It would be great to see some of the old names there for a weekend.

Here are a few that I can name who are still riding

In the Schoolboys there was the legendary Gary " Bing" Bingley and Robert "Dobbo " Dobson Mark Barrow , Tim Walker(now converted to the Dark Side of Sidecars) & Nigel Pattinson -

In Club trials there was Robin Oliphant and Jasper on the Turnuki.

In Centre trials it was Chris and Dave Myers & Nick Sheilds.

But what of those never heard of any more Stephen & Mike Barton , Dave "Wilbur " Williams , Dave Shephard , Eric "Fosh" Foster , The Turner Brothers ( Nick, Andrew & Peter) , Chris Ellison , Howard Jackman , Paul " The Fireman " Corbishley , Sean Lawless & Michael Hadden.

Then there are a few who are sadly no longer with us - Kevin Bleasdale , David Mitchinson & Bille Hadden.

It would be great to see some old faces out on some old bikes I'm sure they are still around.

Maybe some one has some old results or photos from some trials of that era.

You never know - Jack Pears might come and observe !!!!!

I wonder what they all look like now - probably like me a lot of grey hairs and a lot more pounds in weight.
