Mutton Lancers Trial
16th November 2025
Better late than never click HERE for the results or find them under the Results pag.
Thanks to everyone that helped set out the trial, the observers and everyone else who helped on the day and of course the land owners.
Situations coming vacant!
So here is the opportunity to get a bit more involved with the club and to help run our Trials events. After several years of stirling work Amanda is to step down from the role of trials secretary after our Combine Trial in April. So if anyone is interested in taking the role on please get in touch via info@barhammotorcycleclub.co.uk

Charity Trial
The annual Charity Trial is always well attended and this year was no exception. Run at a new venue for us, everyone seemed to enjoy the day and we raised plenty of money for the Hospice charity. So thanks to all who took part and all those that made the day happen.
So here's a selection of pictures with more in the gallery section under the "Charity Trial" button
 
Lord Of Lydden 2025
Didn't manage the Saturday but Sunday was dry, bright but with a strong cold wind blowing most of the day. Some excellent competitive racing in all classes with some hard fought battles all the way down the field. A new "Lord of Lydden" was crowned in the absence of Tom Ward whowas recovering from injury. Fenton Harrison Seabright now has the crown as well as taking the new lap record, very quick indeed. The "Sidecar Burn-up" crown also changed hands this year with Time Reeves retiring early on giving the win to Sean Hegarty and his passenger Jack Knapton. Well done guys!
And to everyone who took part thanks for making it a great weekend of racing, roll on next year
And now for something completely different!
These days we're all use to having our digital cameras and smartphones, able to take super sharp images and videos at the drop of a hat but in the days before the smartphone it was a little different to say the least!
The following vid is courtesy of Paul Bonner-Williams and he says "Hi info on video 1st part is Kent and Sussex MCC barbecue fun trial with Barry Burns Mick Bridger etc 2nd is arena trial in Tonbridge think there was a young Jarvis and Lampkin there last is just club trial few memories for the old stags" Enjoy.
