    Sounds good Joe! I'll put the date in my diary, I'm just up the road in Lancaster so if you need a hand with building a few things I can give up an evening or whatever!

    The grass wasn't too much of a problem really, but I'm not going to complain if it's shorter! Might be worth putting some bigger objects in the middle of everything instead of at the back edge. But the set up last time catered well for all the riders I thought.

    See you all there.

    Tom.

    cheers man =)

    That was the first course ive ever built and i dont even ride trials (i did once upon a time) i just enjoy it, so im glad so many people thought it was good.

    I talked to adam from Tarty again and we are hopefully going to come up with some ides over the next coupleof weeks, ill keep everyone posted.

    Thanks

    Should be ther with a few mates, obviously if the weather is good again. And i completely agree with gage man in an earlier post, there was issues with the grass and the hill, should be there anyway but we would all be gratefull if you could sort something out :)

    The grass can certainly be cut shorter. but we are pretty limited to that same field, i will be making things bigger this year and i will do all i can to make it the best for all of you.

    Just give me ideas of what you want and ill get on with it.

    Joe

    Hello folks, Its me again, Joe from Cuerden Valley Park.

    We are starting preperations for the fair and i have been given the go ahead to organise the trials event again, and i basically want to know if you lot will come in such strong force again as last year was really good, we have had so much good feedback and and you were all a spectacle to watch, obviously ill be looking to add more stuff but this is mainly to see if you are all interested again. There will be a small charge of around £3 mainly to cover staff time for the prep, it takes a lot of organising this ;)

    Ill update the thread regularly with pictures and progress.

    dont worry, thats not where you will be riding thats just our yard =) the whole beam section is collapsible and well shift it all the day before.

    the cars and skips are turning up next week along with the mother of all cable reels, its 2 times the size of the ones on there =)

    also the pallets and pallet constructions will be movable and adjustable and there will be spares so you lot can build what you fancy within reason haha

    yeah, would be best to post the disclaimer up somewhere. Sorry, I dont mean to doubt things, it all sounds really good, but is a disclaimer really worth the paper it's written on? Don't you need proper insurance if people are paying to ride there? I'm not saying I want it to cost more, I'm all for the "do it at your own risk" but it is legit doing it this way right?

    Oh, and big up the speed trials, that sounds mega!!

    disclaimers can be iffy ground but at the end of the day we need in writing that people understand what they are doing and yes we do have propper insurance, its a 700 acre country park, we have to have public liability insurance etc anyway, we are simply adding this on as a one day event.

    what we basically want is for people to come and have a good time, not attempt something they dont have the ability to do and break their leg and blame us, if that happened.... bye bye trials events.

    the disclaimer can be emailed to anyone who requests it, just email me - unjustdnb@hotmail.co.uk, when im back at work i shall try and upload it so people can d/l it
