DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nThe club needs observers for this trial if you can help. We have a good nucleus of folks who always help out with the boards, but a few more on SA TURDAY would be good as we clash with Cumberland County's twinshock trial t he same day. It will also give a good impression to the rock concert specta tors.\n\n\n \n\n\nAnd from one new venue three weeks ago to another ne w venue, where on SATURDAY September 8 we will be running a trial in conjun ction with Hellsfells, a charity rock concert/social gathering/mountain bik e festival at Marthwaite Foot, Middleton near Sedbergh, LA10 5ES, in aid of The Community Self Build Agency and the linked Veterans Self Build Agency. \n\n\n \n\n\nThe club has been invited by farmer and charity campaigne r Brian Capstick to put on a afternoon event on his land and following a re cce by two of Lancs County's committee, they have found a short but really sensible set of sections alongside the River Rawthey.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe land is on the other side of the river from the land used by Westmorland fo r their Nostalgia Trial, and permission for both these trials has been gene rously given by both the Northern Centre board and also the Westmorland Clu b. Parking is good, and should riders want to camp there overnight for the festival and for the following day's family activities, then they will be m ade welcome.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Hellsfells festival, https://www.hellsfel ls.co.uk/trial bike competition which is over the full weekend of September 7/8/9 has full details of the event where up to 1000 families will gather for music, food, biking and entertainment. Lancs County will be part of the weekend with the trial starting at 2pm on the Saturday afternoon for four laps of ten sections over a normal Clubman Hard and Clubman Easy course. Th e trial will form part of the Sunday series, even though it will be on a Sa turday afternoon. Take a look at the website where a video of the 1988 Kick start is featured, used, so that the uninitiated get some idea of the sport as so many of them still see it.\n\n\n \n\n\nAnd here's the latest in formation from the festival organisers, there will be a number of food stal ls on the field, which the charity is making further margin on as I am supp lying the meat at cost. There will also be a lot going on for the kids with a bouncy castle, ice cream, treasure hunt, etc if the riders want to bring family along. Also on Saturday afternoon there will be a mountain bike rel ay changing over on the field and a raft race up on Killington Lake if any of the families want to get involved.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe live music is st arting mid-afternoon, running through to 10pm with the following line up:\n \n\n \n\n\nKev Kendal - The Acoustic Mod. You won’t be able to hold ba ck as you find yourself singing along with Kev as he plays you some of the all time greatest Soul, Mod and Brit Pop songs\n\n\n \n\n\nOld Rope - 4 piece Blackpool band playing their brand of Rock and Blues\n\n\n \n\ n\nSTRANGEWAYS - A classic Punk Rock band, cracking out LOUD classic rock f rom favourite including The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Buzzcocks and many more.\n\n\n \n\n\nRich and the Poor - Local Sedbergh band who have mad e a name for themselves in these part playing a mixture of classic covers a s well as original songs.\n\n\n \n\n\nSka Face - A 10 piece Ska band p laying classic Ska and 2 Tone including Madness, The specials, Bad Manners and many more!\n\n\n \n\n\nThere is also a Young Farmers Tug of War co mpetition on Saturday evening, so if the riders have the energy, they are m ore than welcome to enter a team or 2.\n\n\nThe bar is being sponsored by R obinsons Brewery "Light Brigade Beers" in association with Help for Heroes and the rock group Iron Maiden.
