Was really sorry to hear about Gavins accident when I got back from holiday. Gavin had been a member of the ebtc for many years and was at our last trial at Hook Woods on the 13th - he was a really good guy and will be very much missed. Our thoughts are with his family at this time. A few photos of Gavin at the trial can be found on http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/ebtcbiketrial/GavinBedfordHookWoods13June2010RIP Dave and Pam Bradley

I was speaking to Stuart Matthews yesterday, he is the British EBU delegate and he tells me the European BikeTrial Championship in Andorra (22-23 May) has been cancelled. The organisers of the trial had not signed an agreement with the EBU and the final deadline has now past. It is now too late for an alternative event this year. The three round European Cup Championship trials are not affected and will take place as advertised and there is of course still the World Biketrial Championship this year.
