Non-Experts Trial
March 2026
Well a great day, sunshine, dry sections with just enough trickiness to catch you out if you weren't concentrating. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their rides and see you in a few weeks time for our Combine Trial
So here's a selection of pictures with more in the gallery section under the "Non-Experts 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.
