BikeTrial Federation Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Newcastle City Centre Trial - CANCELLED It is with great regret that the Biketrial Federation has to announce that, due to circumstances beyond our control, Round 5 of the British Trials Cup, due to be held in Newcastle City Centre on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th August, has had to be cancelled. Solar Learning, the company organising the Urban Games, of which the British Trial Cup Round was to be a part, and Newcastle City Council have been unable to secure the full permissions for the necessary road closures over the weekend, meaning that the event can no longer be held at the proposed venue. An alternative venue was suggested but since this was outside the city centre coupled with the issues around road closures, the event sponsors withdrew their support of the event, meaning that Solar Learning no longer had any budget or infrastructure for the trials event. We are extremely frustrated and disappointed to have to cancel the event, especially at this late stage, and apologise for any inconvenience that this has caused. An emergency meeting will be held this weekend at Round 4 of the series at Radical Bikes to discuss the situation and any possible alternative arrangements. Once again, our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by this cancellation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I was so llookng forward to this . Have a suggestion though. Harwood dale near Scarborough would be an awesome place to hold a national. there is plenty of natural riding to be done aswell as man made objects such as concrete slabs and pipes. The committee of harwood dale seemed keen to allow pedal competitions to be held there when I asked last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
