The Winter trial will be at Hermitage Farm near Ipstones, Staffordshire, set in the heart of the picturesque Staffordshire Moorlands.

The Cheadle Auto Club has again abolished membership fees for 2017 so anyone wanting to ride in one of their trials can turn up on the day and simply pay the entry fee and be given free membership of the club. You will still need to hold an ACU licence which can be obtained at the trial but apart from that there will be no fuss and no extra cost to you. This will continue to be the clubs policy in 2016 in order to try to keep costs to the riders to a minimum.
