14th October 2020 – Statement from the Chairman
RMC statement
Many thanks to all our members for their ongoing patience. It has been, and still is a difficult and unusual time that we are all facing with the ongoing COVID pandemic. Trying to find a balance between ensuring safety and living our lives is not easy.
Following a recent meeting of the committee, RMC has reached the decision that sadly we will not be running any trials for the remainder of 2020, given the current worsening situation.
We are however, making the most of the next few weeks and putting together plans for next year’s calendar and looking at the format of how future trials will run, in order that we comply with the guidelines in place- the details of which will be thrashed out in the coming weeks.
We do appreciate there will be people who say that other clubs are running trials (even in “our backyard.”). We however have taken the difficult decision that RMC must act responsibly and not invite people into, what is at the moment, a relatively unaffected area. We all have a responsibility to limit the spread of this disease and one way to do this is by limiting unnecessary gatherings and travel.
Please keep checking the website for developments and plans for the future events. We value your continued support and our hope is that by behaving responsibly now, we can ensure the future of trials in our area. We sincerely hope that this will be sooner rather than later.
SCOTT TRIAL 2020 – CANCELLED
On what would have been day one of the Reeth Three Day and the launch of the 2020 Scott Trial and after much consideration and deep regret, Richmond Motor Club have made the difficult decision to cancel this years Scott Trial.
Even though some trials are now being allowed and the Dales are starting to open up it was felt that if the Scott was to run this year there would be so many restrictions and changes that the very essence of the trial would be so badly compromised that it was better to cancel this year and come back with a true Scott in 2021. Some of these restrictions and changes would include no awards presentation, no results on the day (it would be immensely difficult to run a safe results room with the number of people needed to produce them on a very tight schedule), no spectators or rider back up teams (very difficult to marshal everyone sticking to the Covid 19 rules) and petrol stops would be impossible to run with the social distancing and PPE needed for the multiple volunteers not to mention the risks to them. There are many, many different strands to the Scott all of which we have thought very carefully about.
There is also the additional strain to the Emergency Services including the Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team and most importantly we needed to put the safety and welfare of all our landowners at the forefront of our discussions.
We hope you all understand this very difficult decision and look forward to seeing you all for an epic Scott Trial next year.
