SATURDAY 13th at HAM LANE
The Alan Sansom Memorial Trial
If you are planning to ride in The Alan Sansom next Sunday, can we ask a favour?
If possible, can you enter by Tuesday to give us an idea of the numbers and the classes to cater for, before our first site visit on Wednesday.
To plan and mark out a Ham Lane Trial there are several days’ work required, with some of the team driving a long distance.
If by any chance we had to cancel due to low numbers all riders pre-entered would receive a full refund.
Members Question:
Why does the entry cost more (£25.00) for this Trial?
For this Trial Observers are provide with lunch as well as expenses, making a total of £26.00 per Observer, the land charge has increased and being an Open Trial, we need to accrue for Trophies. This is in addition to the normal ACU fees and Officials expenses.
Any surplus cash is donated to Alan’s nominated Brain Tumour Charity.
