The recent news that next year's British round of the World Trials Championship will be contested over two days is great for the UK as it is now some time since Britain was honored with a two day event.

In recent years two day rounds have normally been allocated to the far flung trials in the USA and Japan, so to get one here, in the UK and at a brand new venue is great. And if you've missed the announcement, the trial will be at Nord Vue which is between Penrith and Carlisle, only a few miles off the M6 between junction 41 and 42.

Graham Jarvis and Enduro rider and promoter John Kerwin are the names behind the trial and they have recently appointed top northern centre trials rider Gary Bingley to act as the event coordinator. Gary is a regular rider and local businessman and he hopes to secure loads of help from enthusiasts in the north of England and already much of the machinery being used to move rocks to manufacture the sections is in use from local plant owner and trials rider Neil Wilson. so all is shaping up well.

Of course the success of the last three British world rounds at Hawkstone means that for the newcomers to organising a major event like this (dirt bike trax), they have a hard act to follow, but they'll be doing their best, but with a lot of hard work, they will surely succeed.

Tickets at a reduced rate are already on sale at just £12.50 a day, a figure that remains in force until February 1, 2009 when the price has to increase. So, for less than the cost of a trial entry, you can get to see the world's best trials rider in action, with bookings taken via the shop

There will of course be the usual trade stands and the organisers are hoping to attract sponsorship of the sections, both of which can be booked by contacting John Kerwin on 07914 777534.

In case you have missed the date, it's on the weekend of May 15/16/17, just a week following the Scottish six days trial, which should indirectly benefit the Scottish with factory vans and riders.
