Stunning Scenery at today’s trial at Park Rash

Fantastic Bank Holiday weather at today’s Centre Championship Trial at Park Rash.  3 Laps of 13 sections made for a great days sport.  Apologies for not having the required 14 sections but this was due to a shortage of observers who were probably all at the sea side!   The updated provisional results are available to download here:  Park Rash 2019 Centre Championship Provisional Results

As always Richmond Motor Club would like to thank the Landowners, Observers, Clerk of the Course and helpers, Secretaries and anyone else involved in the running of today’s trial.  Also thank you to all the riders for entering and taking part.

TRAINING SCHOOL NEWS – as you will all be aware out Youth Training School was postponed back in August due to the horrendous flooding in Swaledale.  It has been decided to CANCEL the training school this year.  Those who sent in cheques – these will be shredded and to those who made payments online, we will refund you asap.  Apologies that the training will not run this year, but I am sure you will all understand.  We will be back in 2020!!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the recent clean up day following the devastating floods our local area suffered recently.

We had a successful day clearing stone at Rawcroft, Heggs and Storthwaite.  The local landowners are always very generous in letting us use their land for trials so it was a pleasure to help them out in return and great to see so many people turning up to help.  Thank you to the ladies for providing a good Yorkshire spread to keep the troops going.

One of the landowners sent us this lovely message below, which makes our work worth all the while.

Please pass on my sincerest and heartfelt thanks to all members, friends and
family who gave up their time yesterday to come and muck in at
Rawcroft/Heggs/Storthwaite farms.

The kindness of strangers never ceases to amaze me — I was overwhelmed when
the convoy started to make its way down the track! — and in just one day,
you’ve managed to restore a sense of order to the landscape.

Thanks to days like yesterday, I have never felt alone in the aftermath of
the flood, and that makes all the difference in being able to move forwards.

Warmest wishes,
Liz Sutcliffe

Just a quick push to the trials world and anyone interested in helping out at on Saturday.   We are gathering together a working group to try to help the landowners clear some of their land of stones and debris. They allow us to run some of the most iconic trials in the area including the Scott Trial, Reeth 3 Day, and Mintex Youth trial and we really want the trialing community to give something back to them – they have said that man power is as important, if not more so than money.

We are holding a work day this Saturday – 17th August at 9.30am – meet at the Woodyard, Reeth (where the 3 day started this year).

Food and refreshments will be provide, please just bring man and woman power (children very welcome too!), wellies and gloves for picking stones.   

We would love to see as many people there as possible to show our support to the local area.  If you get chance to look at the event on facebook and let us know you are coming (to help with the catering) then that would be great.
