The Angela Redford trial is one of the most popular rounds of the Normandale sponsored ACU Traditional Trials Championship events and this year moves from its traditional March date to August and with it a change of venue to Barkingate Farm, Roeburndale, near Wray, which is about three miles from the March venue used in recent years.

This venue, used for many years by Lancs County, will again provide 2 laps of 20 sections and is ideal for this class of event. This venue has been used before for a Normandale round, but the long gully, that has made this venue infamous, will again be used for most of its length.

Nick Shield is again be in charge of section plotting and with his reputation as both rider and organiser, entrants can expect a cracking trial.

The entry closed at 101 riders with most of the various championship contenders planning to travel north.
