September 27, 200916 yr As I have not seen any write up or the results of this trial posted here or in TMX, I thought I would post this: Many thanks to Tongham Tigers MCC, the organiser and observers for putting on the first (but hopefully not the last) Don Smith Memorial trial on 19/09/2009. This was a well organised, well supported, first class event, with a social barbeque after the trial. Among the attendees were: Karen & Amanda Smith (Don's daughters), Gordon Farley, Colin Dommett, Charlie Harris, Gordon Adsett, Bill Wilkinson & Mike Jackson. There wer 91 entrants on the day of which approximately 75% were pre 67 and the remainder twinshocks. The course was 1 route, 3 laps of 12 sections and whilst not too challenging for the experts, they were for some of the lesser talented riders. The results were:- Pre 1967 Premier award - #40 David Shale, 250 James, 0 ML Twinshock Premier Award - #84 Mark Stokes 250 Majesty Yamaha, 0 ML Best Greeves Rider - #68 Paul Casling, 250 Greeves, 2 ML I for one thoroughly enjoyed the days trial and the socialising afterwards and I am looking forward to the 2nd Don Smith Memorial trial next year.
