Scott Trial Charity Presentation Evening:
On Friday 7th April at The Buck Hotel Reeth, The Scott trial charity donations were given out to many local recipients. The evening began with Treasurer Richard Hague giving a brief history of the Scott trial from its first running in 1914 up to its present day, Nigel Cummins, Richmond Motor Club President, then presented the cheques to the various charities, a number of which explained how the money would be spent.
A total of £10,975.00 was given out this year, which included £3,475 raised by a charity team at the trial, for The Mark Adams Trust. This brings the total to over £160,000 since Richmond Motor Club took over the running of the trial in 1991. Many thanks to all who help and sponsor the trial, far too numerous to mention, and thoughts now turn to this years event which is on 21st October 2017. An excellent buffet then followed and one recipient (Mary Lovell MBE) even had a sit on a bike !!!!
The list of recipients are as follows (in no particular order) Swaledale Scouts, Swaledale Mountain Rescue ,Friends of Reeth and Gunnerside Primary Schools ,Reeth and GunnersideSchools Fund, Ravensworth Primary School ,Arkengarthdale Primary School, Yorkshire Air Ambulance ,Great North Air Ambulance , Leyburn Primary School , Reeth Young Farmers, Swaledale Seedlings, St.Johns CentreWednesday Club ,RABI ,Hambleton and Richmondshire MS Society, Richmond Cricket Club youth ,Moorland Assoc, St.Teresa,s Hospice, DELTA, Holmedale Preschool ,Richmond Cricket Club, Wensleydale Rugby Club Development Fund, Gamekeepers WelfareTrust ,ACU Benevolent Fund ,The Mowbray Suite at the Friarage Hospital, The Alistair Bullen Memorial Fund, Homestart, Just The Job ,Robert Dent Memorial Fund, Marrick Institute, and The British Lung Foundation

Mintex 2017 Update
The ACU have been in touch with the following information re C Class riders at this and future years Mintex Trophy Trials:
“The T & E Committee’s policy is that the Mintex Trophy Trial event should be open to A & B Class riders only as they feel it is not suitable for the younger riders. As such we advise that there are no dispensations for C Class riders. A and B only are eligible.”
We have, therefore, adjusted the entry form and you can download an updated form here: Mintex Entry Form 2017
Apologies to those C Class riders who were hoping to ride this year, but it will be worth waiting for when you move up to B Class!
