The 2016 Scott Trial Official Souvenir Programme, which this year is again a full colour edition, is soon to be available for trials fans. Amounting to 92 pages, it is packed with all the information you will need to spectate at the annual classic on 22^nd October.

Scott Trial Programme Editor 2016, John Moffat, would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped with articles, photographs and information, and for the very smooth hand-over from previous editor, Julia Robinson, wife of Scott Clerk of the Course, Paul.

Scott programmes will be available from the usual local outlets from the 10th of October – Richmond Petrol Stations; Cross Lanes Store, Richmond; Smith and Allan, Darlington; Piercebridge Farm Shop; AG Bikes, Low Row and the usual Reeth outlets for £5.  Profits made, as usual, will go to The Scott Charities.

You can also order a copy by post, by emailing your request to: scotttrial100@gmail.com (cost: £6.50 including the postage). Please make the subject line: ‘Scott Trial Programme Order’, payment details will be made available.

With less than 3 weeks to go we thought we would start to whet your appetite on the run down to this prestigious event!  We will be sharing a few past Scott Trial photos on the website and social media pages and posting any news leading up to the trial.

To start with here are a few photos of last year’s popular winner Ian Austermuhle.

We are saddened to hear that Trials enthusiast Peter Young passed away peacefully early yesterday morning, following a short battle with cancer.

Many of you will have known Peter as a keen supporter of trials in the North East.  Peter loved attending Richmond Motor Club trials, including the Reeth Three Day Trial and his favourite The Scott Trial.  He was also a sponsor of the RMC Ladies British Championship awards for many years.  Peter was often a friendly face to be seen at numerous other trials, including the Cleveland, Wainwright, White Rose and further afield at The Scottish Six Days Trial, always with a smile, giving encouragement and support to riders.

He will be missed by us all in the trials fraternity.

Peter’s funeral will be held on Monday 3rd October at Darlington Crematorium, 11:45.
