The St Paul Trophy Trial
Our next Trial, The “St Paul Trophy” is being held at Hut Hill on Sunday 7th April. The venue has been chosen to ensure that we will be able to provide easy parking for 80 riders as everywhere else is too wet!
Offers to Observe are appreciated, and being an Open Trial volunteers will receive a free lunch in addition to the usual £20.00 expenses.
Please email walthamchasetrials@outlook.com if you can help.
All profit from this Trial will be donated to the ACU Benevolent Fund.

The venue will be open from 11.00am through to 3.00pm.

Youth National Trial at Hookwood - 27th and 28th April
Waltham Chase will support this event by sponsoring a section and are seeking volunteer Observers for both days, with burgers and drinks delivered to the sections.
Marking at this Trial will be” Punch Cards and Clippers”, not the “electronic kit” as at previous events.
Please reply to this email if you fancy a day out “observing “at a National Trial.
Ham Lane and The Hop Garden
As of today, there have been no offers of help to repair the track at Ham Lane and it may well be that we have to cancel or move the events scheduled for those venues. We will look at our calendar and juggle as best we can. It will be a shame to lose two super venues, but we are where we are.
If you can offer any advice or help, please get in touch.
We can however confirm that The George Greenland, our first Centre Championship Round, is all good to go at Manor Farm, Langrish on the 19th of May. The entry is now open on Sport80: https://acu.sport80.com/public/wizard/e/202934
Signing On
“Signing on” was suspended during the pandemic, and we have enjoyed the freedom of just checking riders in at the gate. The ACU insures have now stipulated that a “wet signature” is a mandatory requirement at all events.
When you turn up at a future Trial park your vehicle and go to” The Sign-On” before you ride. We implemented this last Saturday and had 100% compliance – Thankyou.
And in reality, it is a tad more sociable than just being waved in.
Clerk Of Course Seminars
The Southern Centre will be holding local COC seminars in October or November. Dates and venues to be confirmed. The seminars will be for both renewals of licences and new applicants. If you would like to join the session, please register your interest at acusoutherncentre@gmail.com
