Ebworth Classic Trial 9th October 2010

In case anyone isn't already aware.....

THE EBWORTH CLASSIC TRIAL 9th October 2010

The Stroud and District Motor Club would like to invite you to our Ebworth Classic Trial. The Trial is set in the glorious surrounding of Ebworth Woods, a nature reserve owned by the National Trust and managed in conjunction with English Nature.

In the last 5 years the National Trust team at Ebworth Woods has had to deal with excessive water erosion due to changing weather patterns [Two of the Trials favourite sections, Nowhere and Shade Bottom have been completely washed away] This has prompted a full review of the woodland management which unfortunately means we are now unable to use the woods as often as we would like.  Therefore the trial will now only be run in Ebworth Woods biannually. We hope that this will lead to the sections being in excellent condition every time the trial takes place and will aid larger entries than in recent years. Hopefully this disappointing news will not mean the end of Ebworth which I’m sure you will all agree has been one of the ‘must do’ trials of the previous few decades. We would appreciate the support of all clubs in ensuring that the trial can still be a success.  What better way to spend a Saturday in October than join us, either as a competitor or as a marshal. We look forward to seeing you for what should be an enjoyable event.

This year we are introducing a Clubsport permit Class O. No Competition Licence is required for this class. Competitors will run in class order with the main trial. For this introductory year Class O will not be eligible for awards.

The event will feature a minimum of 10 sections attempted on at least 3 rounds, with 2 observed tests as tie breakers [30+ Sections]

Depending on weather conditions we are looking to run the traditional hills used for many years plus some hills recently found. The trees that may have caused concern/damage to cars in the past have either been removed or sections have been re-routed to avoid them.

As it is a single venue event, no vehicle Tax or MOT is required .

Regs and entry forms are available to download on the club website http://www.sanddmc.co.uk/ or call the event secretary, Tim Smith 07932858261

Searching the Message Board

I have added a facility to search the Message Board, including all those old posts going back to 199X. You will see it in the introduction at http://classicaltrials.multiply.com/

Not very elegant but it works! Thanks to Kevin for suggesting it.

You should be able to do the same with Google but for some reason it only returns recent stuff.
