With only 3 weeks to go to this years Scott Trial we hope that training is going well!

We have had one or two changes to the rider list.  Please find the most up to date version here:  Scott Trial 2012 Entry List

Rider Final Instructions are being emailed to all riders today and are also available to download here:  Complete rider final instructions 2012

Please would all riders, followers, spectators and friends take special notice of the following paragraph which has been added to this year’s final instructions due to vehicles being seen on parts of the course which are not open to the General Public in previous years.  Everyone’s cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated as it is putting the future of the Scott Trial in jeopardy

OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE

This is not in the spirit of the event & is also jeopardising the future of land access. Any rider’s assistant that is caught with a vehicle in a place other than on or adjacent to the public highway risks the exclusion of their rider. Please note that the majority of tracks on the moors are private roads & Trial followers are not permitted to use them. We will be actively monitoring this situation & the Observer teams have been specifically instructed to makes notes of offenders.

We have now completed the draw for the 2012 Scott Trial.  We have once again attracted a top class field with riders ranging from World Round riders to local clubmen. 

The list of names, numbers and times is available to download here:  Scott Trial 2012 Entry List

There are still a few places for anyone wishing to take up the challenge!

Best of luck to all riders over the next 4 weeks with training!  Please look out for an email with the final instructions on.  These will also be posted to the website.

The  Scott Charity Presentation Evening was held on Friday 17th February at the Buck Hotel Reeth. This year a total of £8,500 was being given out to local charities, making a total of over £115,000 donated in the time that Richmond Motor Club have run the trial. 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 presented the cheques to the various charities that were present. A list of recipients are as follows (in no particular order)
