I've just been reading the post in trials chat and realise that there's some confusion so thought the details should be confirmed.
NO PRACTICING at the competition venue for one week before the event, but I'm sure some of the top names can be seen around Shipley Glen and Harden Moor for the few days beforehand!
CAMPING - Opens at Skipton Auction Mart on Wednesday 23rd July at 12.00noon.
Free camping is for riders and their families, and for helpers ONLY.
REGISTERING - Riders, minders and all organised helpers MUST register at event control at the auction to receive their free "Pass Card". This entitles them to take part in organised activities, and to enter the competition site free of charge.
HELPERS - more helpers are still needed for time-keeping and score-keeping on sections, and for car-parking - we need your names now, not on the day, that will be too late! You will receive free entry, free camping, free hot drinks and discount on food! Ring me on 07850 505298 to offer help.
COMPETITION ENTRY - The closing date for entry to the competition was 18th May. If you aren't riding in the comp and are just spectating, it isn't advisable to bring your bike - you won't be allowed to ride it!
