Scott Trial Charity Presentation Evening 2013

 

The Scott Charity Presentation Evening was held on Friday 1st March at the Buck Hotel Reeth. This year a total of £12,600 was being given out to local charities, making a total of over £127,600 donated in the time that Richmond Motor Club have run the trial. £10,000 was given out on the night which included the proceeds from the Grand Bike Raffle at the Reeth Three Day Trial.  The additional £2600 on the cheque was raised by Tom and Robert Lowes for Brain Tumor UK  in memory of their father Colin Lowes, a previous Scott rider and Richmond Motor Club stalwart.  John Fraser, the Scott Chairman said a few words about how the money is raised with programme sales, entry fees, an auction on the night and very generous sponsorship of the event and awards. He then introduced Mr Stuart Lowther, who is currently the President of the Yorkshire Centre of the ACU and a member of the  Richmond Motor Club Committee.  Stuart commented on the amount of people involved in running the Scott Trial (approx. 200 plus on the day!) and thanked the committee on behalf of the charities.  A list of recipients are as follows (in no particular order)
