ACTC Awards Evening 2026

The ACTC Awards Evening once again returns to Padbrook Park Hotel at Cullompton, this year on Saturday 18th April.

Padbrook Park Hotel, Swallow Way, Cullompton, EX15 1RU

The evening will once again precede the Torbay Trial, to accommodate those that already do plenty of trips down the M5 across the trialling season! It will follow a similar format to previous years, with a Dinner, prizegiving for the 2025 season, followed by a quiz hosted by MC Mike Jones. It was a great evening last time out, with a rare chance to catch up with competitors and friends while not stood at the bottom of a section or in the queue for scrutineering! As in the last few years, there will be no fixed dress code either!

A 3 Course Dinner will be served from 7pm, you can book your place and select your menu options from this link.

Accommodation can be booked with the Hotel directly (please state that you are attending the ACTC Dinner) and ample parking is available for those bring their Trials vehicles on trailers for the Torbay Trial which is the following morning.

“We’re delighted to be bringing the Presidents back to the trialling calendar after a 4 year layoff and with Calvin and Jon Moores clerking for the first time, it’s set to be a fantastic day out in Bonyalva Woods.

The hills are taking lots of preparation after 4 years of growth but Calvin and Jon are determined that there will be something for all classes in our only single venue classic trial of the year. It’d be great to see our triallers supporting their enthusiasm for the event. Spaces are limited so don’t run the risk of missing out by entering late!!

Unfortunately this is a car only event, but if you’re usually on 2 or 3 wheels and would still like a day out in the woods, we’d be very grateful if you’d be able to help out with marshalling.”

“The 4th running of the West Country based March Hare. If it ain’t broke….last year every competitor that started the event finished it (John Early doesn’t count as his car was dying before it got to the start!) and we finished in glorious sunshine and just about on time….but it was very dry. More of the same – classic Colmore Trials sections, some gentle, some in the middle and a few challenges here and there to try and challenge the best, but defintely aimed to suit the beginner on an old motorbike, a basic trials car or a road rally car. Same start and finish as last year with a few subtle changes to add to the challenge. Glorious Cotswold country side and some sections that aren’t accessible to the public, no restarts for class 1 and the chance to win a Falcon Triple – the Cotswold Stone Trophy, like last year’s winner Rich Hayward.

Starting at Porky’s Diner at Honeybourne near Evesham and finishing at The Amberley Inn on Minchinhampton Common, the 80 mile route will again include many of the historic sections once used by the Colmore & Guy Fawkes Trials, including; Kineton, Postlip, Fry’s Quarry and Saintbury, the intention is again to make it an entry level trial where even beginners will see the top of many of the sections, but there might be something to test class 8 in the quarry.

The Falcon MC equivalent of a Triple Award for three gold medals in a row is in action last year three competitors recieved the award – Mark Hobbs in the class 8 Troll and Rich Hayward and Tris White in class 3 escorts. This year there are three competitors aiming for the Cotswold Stone Award – Carl Talbot in the Class 2 Buckler, Andrew Isherwood also in the class 2 Dellow and Phil sunders in the class C Beta Enduro all are on 2 out of 2 – let’s see if they can go clean again and pick up the award.

Trailer parking is available at the finish in Nailsworth, and a proposed route to follow from there to the start at Honeybourne will be provided.

For car entrants an RS Clubman competition licence is required for both driver & passenger – for motorcycle entrants an ACU licence is required – please ensure you read the event regulations carefully.

The organising team looks forward to receiving your entry. If you are unable to enter, please consider volunteering to marshal by contacting the event secretary with your offer to help.”

2026 Cotswold Clouds Trial Online Entry

“On Sunday 1st February 2026 we welcome you to join us, as we have done since 1963, for our annual Cotswold Clouds Classic Trial. Over the years many competitors and spectators have enjoyed the Cotswold Hills and this year will hopefully be no exception.

Although some of the sections may provide more of a challenge than others, the clerks of the course do not wish to make all hills stoppers for any of the 9 classes, giving all the chance to successfully climb some hills during the day. The Clouds, winner of the ACTC Trial of the Year award in 2016, remains a successful and popular trial attracting a full entry for many years. The organising team of Paul Watson, Gary Browning, Kieran Yarwood and Sandie Tozer look forward to receiving your entries, so please complete the online entry form as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. We will keep you updated with entries via our website and the Club’s Facebook page.

The excellent facilities at Fromebridge Mill will again be the start venue as in previous years. Tea, coffee and hot food will be available as usual. Trailer parking will be vailable at Fromebridge Mill. If you’re not planning to compete this year, please consider offering your services as a Marshal. These offers are so very much appreciated and we literally couldn’t do it without you!

We look forward to seeing you on the hills. The Organising team”
