Hi Guys (that’s all genders!)
From now on we hope to keep you better informed via this slot, so keep an eye on it for any changes that may affect the view from behind the handlebars (rather than steering wheel) at ACTC events.
The post of Motorcycle Co-ordinator has been vacant for a while, but at the AGM on September 3rd , I was co-opted to fill the post. So if there are any bike related issues, proposals, complaints, suggestions etc, I’m on board to discuss and explain, approach and advise the Clubs and/or ACTC bigwigs.
As you probably know, the Clubs run the trials but belong to the ACTC who try to establish/co-ordinate consistency, standard rules etc and run the championship. At the ACTC meetings each Club gets a vote. This means if you join a club (recommended) you can lobby them to put proposals to the ACTC, or you can discuss the matter with me and if its valid I can propose it (but I don’t vote).
Who am I? I’m Graham Lampkin, a life-long biker who has ridden on and off road, old and modern bikes. You can contact me by email ([email protected]) or phone mobile 07989 446131, landline 01282 862749. All I ask is your name & contact number (no anonymous or rude suggestions please). I live in the grim north & haven’t the time (or budget) to ride all the trials, but if you see me at an event, please tell me your thoughts after the trial. To help you identify me, I’m currently riding a green/grey Royal Enfield.
So, please help all of us by giving me feed- back. Why not register for the championship next year? You get the fee back in the form of a quarterly magazine, as well as more fun. Most importantly, keep on enjoying the trials and encourage your mates to share the fun!
Graham
