    Trials is the cheapest form of motorsport in the country, where else can you compete on your bike/car/quad all day for a few quid? An entry fee may go up 4 or 5 quid but its still the best value moto

    The explanation issued doesn't clear things up that much. http://www.sacu.co.uk/sacu_pages_editing_regularly/SACU_CompLicFeeExplained_2013%20V3.0.pdf But it does seem to be £5 per rider, per event.

  • I was speaking to some one high up in the Sacu and the way it was explained to me was the Sacu lost £40000 this year and this is reason for the increase. He also say that after all the different cost

£50 still sounds prohibatively expensive, we struggle to get people down here to pay £10 and i thought Scots were supposed to be tight LOL, to me but i'm glad an agreeable compromise has been sorted out. A triumph for democracy.

5 pages of posts!

Just shows you the reaction you get when you try to get a couple of quid off a trials rider :)

So we think 'no change' is a result?

No wonder trials in scotland is in the state it is.

Mark, how would a £150 a year (or more) license improve trials ?

If the money was put back into develpment and promotion it would.

I'm not saying that the SACU of old would be able to deliver that, but if they change into a body that truly fosters and encourages motorcycle sport they could.

But if they dont get the chance we will never know.

"But if they dont get the chance we will never know."

What will change ? The Alberfeldy & Loch Lomond of old will not re-appear.

Trials in Scotland have not changed much in the last 30 years, faces have dis-appeared, then re-surfaced. (except Big Phil)

What is the dream I should buy into ?

Overthehill has made some very valid points there.

Many other sports are now investing for the future. There is a bigger picture with Scottish Trial sport, it's just a pity some people don't really see it.

overthehill you ride 2 trials a year ! :moon:

Yes stevie but i've been riding scottish trials every year for 35 years so my total is still pretty high.

The "comp levy" could be optional, those with "vision" could contribute.
