Lancs County kick-off 2019 in the usual manner with a charity trial on behalf of the North West Air Ambulance to which all proceeds after normal expenses are donated.

The venue will be Cragg Farm, Low Gill, LA2 8RB which is a venue that stands up to use in just about any weather. Parking is not good but there's usually enough space in various places to accommodate all those who attend. The start will be flagged from the High Bentham to Slaidburn road at Ringstones Lane.

The trial will be over a single course used by everybody and will be four laps of ten sections with entries taken at the start which will be 11am (half an hour later than most of the club's events). This format gives everybody the chance to compare their performance directly with everybody else in the trial.

Catering will not be available this time - so bring you own butties!!
