Congratulations to all Scott Trial award winners – here are a few photos, courtesy and copyright of John Hulme, Trial Magazine.

To all SCOTT riders, helpers and followers
It will soon be here now and I hope that you are all ready for it.
I know you will be aware, but I wanted to say that The Scott takes a lot of time and effort to organise and a lot of people have been involved with this event, some even since the end of last year. To make this event as safe and as enjoyable for everyone, please read and take notice of any signage around the course and please respect other people and the property you encounter around the course.
Let’s make this year’s Scott a fantastic one.
Good luck to all of you riders and to everyone else, enjoy.
I’ll see you on Saturday !!!
DIANE HORNER
SCOTT SECRETARY
IMPORTANT NOTICE
We have had a gentle reminder from the Police asking us to make sure that you are all aware that any bikes using a public highway MUST be road legal – number plates, insurance, etc.
Whilst the Police are in support of the event, they have a job to do and, if any rider is stopped and found to be in breach of the regulations, there will be no exceptions and they may be prosecuted by way of a fixed penalty notice – or have their bike seized from them if it is uninsured and being ridden on a public road.
So, if you do retire from the trial and need to get back to the start field, please make sure that you don’t use the roads. If this is a problem, wait for a marshal and we will help you to get you and your bike back to the start field.
Only a few days to go until this year’s Scott Trial and we are getting items ready for the Scott Trial Charity Auction, which will be held on the evening of the trial, prior to the Results and Presentation of Awards at Richmondshire Cricket Club. All proceeds will go to Scott Trial Charities. We are very grateful to the following people and businesses for their generous donations. If you would like to donate any items to be auctioned for Scott Charities, there is still time! Please email secretary@richmondmotorclub.com or telephone 01748 886356.
If you are unable to attend the Auction, but would like to place a reserve bid on an item, please send your bid together with name and contact details to secretary@richmondmotorclub.com

Thank you to all our generous supporters and thank you in advance to our auction bidders! Come and grab yourself a fantastic auction item on Saturday night!
Riders entered in this year’s Scott Trial may be asking themselves if they are ready for the big day next Saturday. Is the bike ready, spares and fuel ready, waterproofs, energy drinks, jelly babies?! Is the rider ready, bike fit and mindset ready? Let’s hope the answer is ‘yes’ to all these as Scott Trial 2016 draws nearer.

With only a handful of days to go until The 2016 Scott Trial, The Clerk of The Course and all his assisting teams are busy plotting the route. To help spectators plan their day, please be aware that the route (OPRA) which crosses Telfit Moor to Helwith between co-ordinates NZ093012 and NZ070428 has now been closed to all motorised vehicles by North Yorkshire County Council Highways department. Please also remember we are using the Scott Trial one way system from Reeth via Healaugh to Surrender Bridge, By Pass and Grand Canyon, bringing you out at the CB Inn. Please follow the signs, as they are there to make your day easier. There will be catering units and toilet facilities in various places around the course, this and lots more information can be found in this year’s programme which is on sale now in the usual outlets. Richmond Motor Club would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a great day’s trialling and look forward to seeing you all at the Cricket Club for the presentation.
Paul Robinson, Scott Trial C.o.C
