Sam Connor of West Horsley and riding for his local club The Witley & DMCC become British Solo Trials Champion for 2009 competing in round seven of this extreme and rugged of off road sport at Brimham Rocks, Pateley Bridge Yorkshire last Sunday.
Motorcycle Trials is considered the most skilful of all motorcycle disciplins. Sundays course featured high rocks with plenty of mud thrown in. Twenty Nine years of age Sam started his bike riding at aged 10yrs with the popular Surrey Schoolboys Trials Club and on Sunday was in a class of his own riding the rocks and mud as if they didnt exist.
Sam's nearest rivals Ian Austermule of East Yorks and Gary Mc Donald of Scotland finished on double the points of Sam's winning score, this now gives the 2009 Championship to the very popular Surrey Rider even though one round still remains in Kent. |

The trial was held at Knightons Farm, Dunsfold, on a very warm and bright day.
Terry had set out 8 fairly easy sections which was well suited and well received on such a hot day. With 18 riders entered before the day we were not sure what to expect. However with the Star Group trial cancelled I did anticipate a few extra. In fact we had another 17 on the day, making a worthwhile total of 35 riders.
This did bring up the subject of archaic rules within the TVTC and the Centre. Officially I could not accept entries from outside the TVTC group clubs as it was restricted to the TVTC – in my opinion a stupid rule that needs addressing quickly. There was no way that I was going to turn down entries, so I accepted those from Thames, Horsham and Haslemere clubs. Hopefully Neil Bowker will take my request to the TVTC so that we can run open events in future.

 The summer is on its way (apparently!) and by some accounts it will be a scorcher. So why not think about joining us for one of the top social events of the year?
This year the Camping Weekend will take
place from Friday afternoon, July 10th to Sunday afternoon July 12th. The venue, as in recent years, will be Butcherland Farm, Ebernoe, Petworth, West Sussex, GU28 9JX (from Guildford on the A283 Petworth Road, turn left by the Deepwell Inn at Northchapel). Thanks to Mr. Ivan Wadey for making his land and facilities available to us once again.
There will be a barbecue (bring your own food!) and bonfire on the Saturday night, and the theme to keep you all busy during the rest of the weekend is Space Hopper racing, high jump, long jump and any other ideas we can come up with!! Bring your Space Hoppers – spares may be available. It would be great to see you there joining in the fun.
There will be a small charge of £5 for camping to cover expenses.
If you haven’t attended previously, or even if you have, please talk to Club Captain Rebecca Brockman or any Committee member to find out more.
