The Gerald Simpson Yorkshire Centre Trial will be held on Sunday May 16th and entries are now open.  A great run out with one big lap of approx. 30 miles and 40 sections.   This is a pre-entry trial limited to 150 and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.  There are classes for Expert, Intermediate, Novice on the Hard Course, and Clubman, O40, and O50 on the Clubman Course.

Entries are online via the ACU website and are open for all riders riding for a Yorkshire Centre Club.

Supplementary Regs can be downloaded here :  SupplementaryRegulations_PermitACU60420

Following some confusion with the ACU online entry system, we have become aware that members who joined RMC via post are not currently showing as RMC members on the ACU website.  This means that they are having difficulty entering our trials online.

To simplify things moving forwards we ask that only members wishing to extend their 2020 paid up membership send their application to us via post.  Please use this membership form (if you haven’t already done so) RMC Membership Form 2021 – UPDATED  We would also ask if anyone wanting to take advantage of this extension could do this by 31st March 2021.

Anyone else wishing to take 2021 membership and be able to enter our trials online should do this via the ACU website.  Membership is £12 for a full year of fantastic trials here in the Yorkshire Dales.

Many thanks for your support with this.

 Last night Richmond Motor Club held the Scott Trial 2021 AGM via Zoom. We are very pleased to announced that (subject to all permissions and the COVID roadmap allowing) we will be holding this year’s Scott on Saturday 16th October 2021.  It will be 30 years since RMC took over the running of the trial.

Plans are already underway to run this iconic event once again, especially following last years cancellation due to COVID.

Regs and  Entries will be launched late July so plenty of time to get the training regime in place!

Save the Date and see you all at the Start Field in October

Richmond Motor Club are really sorry to announce that following the recent Government updates and worsening COVID position we feel that the only responsible thing to do is to cancel our Boxing Day Trial.  All riders have been sent an email informing them of this decision and the ACU are processing the refunds.

We do this with deep regret after all the hard work members have put into setting up the trial in a secure way.

Once again apologies for the short notice, but hope you understand and we look forward to seeing you in 2021.

Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year from all at Richmond Motor Club.

Just a quick reminder that the boxing day trial online entries close on the 20th December and there are places still available.

The trial is on Saturday 26th December 2020, starting at Tongue Hill Hurst – DL11 7NW and riders need to be members of Richmond Motor Club (only £10 and this covers you to ride our trials for the full year) which you can do on the ACU website at the same time as entering.

There will be 3 Courses, Hard, Green and Clubman with 2 big laps of approx 14 Sections.  This will be a stand alone trial and not part of the Championship and will be suitable for competent C Class and above.  No riders from Tier 3 will be able to enter and we are sorry that there will be no small wheel course due to the COVID restrictions.  Entries will be by ACU online only and limited to 80.  NO ENTRIES ON THE DAY.  Please make sure you read the supplementary regs and additional information.  Boxing Day Trial – Supplementary Regs and COVID Restrictions   You will be notified by email if your entry is successful (nearer to the day) so please make sure that you fill in all your details carefully.
