TykeTrial R9 - Harden Moor, this Sunday 24th November.

[TykeTrial]

Results from the previous TykeTrial event at Bracken Rocks are online now. We've finally had confirmation of the venues for Round 9 at Harden Moor on 24th November, and round 10 at Shipley Glen on 29th December. Entry forms for both events are attached below and, as usual, you can enter and pay on-line via the events page on the Biketrial Federation website: http://www.biketrialuk.co.uk/Events.htm

The deadline for Harden is next Thursday, so do please get your entries in as soon as possible.

PLEASE NOTE: There will not be a food van at the Harden event as Dave, our regular butty man, will be in hospital. We will be taking equipment to make hot drinks, but you will need to bring your own food along.

As many of you will already know, Barbara is retiring from TykeTrial at the end of this year. We therefore need a couple of people to volunteer to take on some of the secretarial and preparation work going forward. If anyone is interested in learning how to do the event secretary's job and helping out with the club, please contact Barbara (info@biketrialuk.co.uk) as soon as possible and she will happily show you what needs doing for each event. It would be good to use preparation for the Harden and Shipley events as a 'training session'. Without a secretary, these events cannot run, so it is vital that we find people to help with these roles in the future. If you can help at a couple of club events each year, we would love to hear from you!

Thanks to everyone that came along to the Harden Moor trial at the weekend, hope you all enjoyed it! The sections were tough and challenging, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and there were still some very low scores, so well done everyone!

This was Barbara's last trial as a director and committee member of the club and we had a meeting after the trial to appoint a new committee. There is now a great new team of people in charge of running the club and its events and the future looks bright for TykeTrial! There will be a transitional period while roles and tasks are passed over, but keep an eye out for an announcement of the new committee members in the next few weeks.

TykeTrial would like to take this opportunity to thank Barbara for all of her hard work and dedication and for everything that she's done for the club over the last 16 years. She's been the face and the backbone of the club for so long and has done an absolutely fantastic job. She'll be greatly missed!

Thank you Barbara!
