 |

event with a great atmosphere. |

Directions |
|
The event control
is immediately next to The Hole in the Wall Cafe, Lower Walk (below
the promenade), North Shore. Post Code FY1 2HB.
NOTE: There
is no vehicle access or parking at the actual venue. Please park
in Gynn Square Car Park or in one of the side streets. The event
will be signposted from the car park.
Click
here for map.
See you there!
Just one
point to note ... we know that many people practice at the 'Moon
Rocks' from time to time, but we have to remind you that it is actually
against the local bye-laws to ride a cycle on the lower promenade
and you could be turned away by the Police! For the day of 6th May,
the Biketrial Federation have the necessary permission to run the
event, but we cannot allow anyone on a cycle who is not entered
in the competition - last time we had complaints from the Beach
Patrol about people (who weren't taking part in the event) riding
on the sea wall - DON'T - IT'S VERY DANGEROUS! Unfortunately, be
warned, anyone who turns up with the intention of riding, but not
competing will not be allowed and may jeopardise permission for
future events. Please don't spoil it for everyone else!

The
prestigious Blackpool "Moon Rocks" venue certainly
calls for something really special, and the crowning glory
of the day will be the awards presentation when the beautiful
Ella Green, Miss Blackpool 2010-11, will be handing out medals
to the lucky winners at around 4.30ish on Sunday 6th May.

Blackpool
- THE BIG ONE (and not only on the fun-fair)!
(UPDATED 24/04/12) |
|
Whilst we know
how much the riders enjoy it, Blackpool is extremely hard to organise
and to run. Because of its location, the number of riders and spectators
anticipated, a lot of terms are put on us with regards to health
& safety and sticking to the rules laid out for us as organisers.
If we want to use this prime venue again in the future we have to
prepare for and abide by all the rules.
Because of this,
we need a lot more helpers than usual, and known to us in advance
of the event date. If you can help out in any of the positions
below please email us at info@biketrialuk.co.uk
as soon as possible. We also need a team of lads/dads to help put
up banners and flags on the morning of the event (8.30am-9.00am).
They are all
tasks that almost anyone could do (mum's, dad's, girlfriends,
sisters, brothers, friends etc) - and all very important!
We need:-
|
5 people
on control - 2
volunteers needed
|
4 Safety
Officials -

unique medals made especially for the series by ONZA.

recognition! Thanks to CPC

Blackpool
- who's up for making it a fantastic event and a showcase of trials
to the public? |
|
Yes, Blackpool
- Bank Holiday Sunday, 6th May - don't miss it! It's 3 years since
we were there with 97 competitors - the public loved it, so let's
have a massive entry with loads of riding to show off. Don't think
"I'm not good enough to compete" - everyone is,
no matter what stage your riding ability is, there's a class for
you - and whatever stage you're at, to the general public you'll
be brilliant!
We will be taking
entries on the day (if numbers allow - but it will cost you
£5 extra) but it would be so helpful to the organisation and
preparation if we have the entries in advance. It really is easy
to do and only takes a couple of minutes; and to make it even easier,
we won't send you off to the Events page to do it!

Apologies
for the late reporting of this event. It was a really good start to
the season at a really good venue, and with 72 names on the starter
list it was set to be a good competition. All riders reported an excellent
mixture of sections ranging from woodland sections to big rock sections.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the day, despite the wet start. A
full report on the event can be found here, do check it out for
loads of riding pictures. Full results can be downloaded from the
events page. Many thanks to the three sponsors of the event ... |

COMPETITION
- Design a riding shirt |
|
The Biketrial
Federation, with funds provided by our new sponsors, 3SIXTY, want
to provide British riders attending international trials events
with a Great Britain riding shirt to enable them to show that they
are riding for Britain without having to pay for their own shirt.
The competition
is to design that shirt! It can be long-sleeved or short-sleeved,
whichever you like. Very simple rules:-
- The design
must include the Biketrial Federation's logo - click
here to download.
- The design
must include the Union Jack flag.
- The design
must include some appropriate wording.
- The design
must be suitable to use on either a white or coloured shirt (please
also make your suggestion of colour to go with your design).
- You must
email your entry to us as (a) a picture showing the design on
the shirt and (b) a jpg file of the actual design for us to use.
Send entries to: trial_entry@biketrialuk.co.uk
- The email
should include your name and address (to send the prize to if
you should win).
- Copyright
of all design entries will be the property of the Biketrial Federation
for possible future use (if we later decide to use a non-winning
entry you will be notified before use).
The prize? The
winning entry will receive a cheque for £20.00 plus their
own exclusive version of the shirt!
