An excellent
day at Brimham, good weather, good sections, excellent riding.
Many thanks to the 39 riders who took part, those who weren't
there really missed out!
It was
great to see Ben Carlile's dad and mum and hearing their
reminiscences about their last trip to Brimham with Ben.
We hope that they will join us again next year to present
the Memorial Trophy.
It took
a lot of thought to decide who should be awarded the "Ben
Carlile Memorial Trophy". What was the spirit of the
day all about?
TykeTrial
is a club, defined in the dictionary as "a group of
people with common aims or interest". In our case it's
trials that joins us together. Every club needs people to
organise it and to do the tasks needed to keep those people
together.
It was
decided to award the Memorial Trophy to the club member
who had done most in the last year to keep the group going,
to make it possible for new young riders (like Ben once
was) to join the group and to take part in the trials sport.
It was
awarded to the rider who had set up the sections at nearly
every club event in the last year, who has unreservedly
given his time to help in lots of ways, including giving
up his ride to observe on occasions, to spend the whole
day of last year's fund-raising Easter Bunny Hop on the
microphone, and to help out at lots of promotional demos,
etc etc etc.
The
Ben Carlile Memorial Trophy was awarded to Matthew Holdsworth
with thanks from Kevin & Sam Carlile, aswell as a loud
applause from all those present.
Well
done Matthew!
The
next event is the British National at Blackpool on 12th
July - we hope to see all members there putting up a good
show of just what TykeTrial members can do! The next club
event is on 19th July.
Entry
forms for both events will be in the post in the next few
days, please get them sent off straight away.
Please
remember that all club events are now strictly pre-entry
only so you must send that form off as soon as possible.
