We will not be cashing the cheques until the ballot has been drawn and will announce a list of riders on the website as soon as possible after that date.

This year’s Scott Trial is set to be a very special one as its the Centenary – One Hundred Years since the first one was run in 1914.  The date for the diary is Saturday 18th October 2014.
