Okay, two points.
1. In Scotland/UK you can ride a moped/50cc restricted machine from the age of 16, you can ride from 17 on proper bikes up to 125cc/25kw/34BHP if you have the right test at 18 anything you like basically (in Trials terms). Don't know many trials bikes with that amount of output.
2. Unless the regs SPECIFICALLY state an age limit then as long as the riders conform to the laws of the road you cannot exclude them. The Pre 65 regs as posted by Greeves state no under 18's, again the club rule delcared on the entry pack. There have been/are (possibly) 17 year olds in the main trial riding 125s.
I don't know why the age thing has suddenly become an issue, maybe just something else to disagree with the club about and the ballot and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
As long as entrants comform to the laws of the road and the Trial Regs what's the problem??

The 290 can be a fire breathing monster very sharp to the unwary, stopped my old man riding modern bikes, till I got him on a silky smooth Beta. Check for any softening mods, slow throttle, flywheel weights, gearing that sort of stuff.
Unless you are an experienced trials rider It's not one I suggest, 250 would be better

Start the year as we mean to go on.....
A Muslim Fundamentalist suicide bomber does his bit for the cause and finds himself before the Pearly Gates. He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohamed. Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.
'Are you Mohamed?' he asks.
'No, my son. I am St Peter. Mohamed is higher up and he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.
Delighted that Mohamed should be higher than Peter he climbs the ladder in great strides, climbs through the clouds coming to a room where he meets another bearded man.
He asks again, 'Are you Mohamed?
'No, I am Moses. Mohamed is higher still.
Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy he continues to climb the ladder and, yet again, he discovers an even larger room where he meets another man with a beard.
Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohamed?
'No, I am Jesus...You will find Mohamed higher up.
Mohamed higher than Jesus!
The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher. Once again, he reaches a larger room where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question:
'Are you Mohamed?' he gasps, as he is, by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.
'No, my son....I am God. But you look exhausted, Would you like a coffee?'
'Yes, please, my Lord'
God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out:
'Hey, Mohamed, two coffees!

No the thread is as it's been posted dbf, nothing in the deleted box mate.
The popularity is THE reason they only have to tweak things as you say, if only 30 folk entered there would be a problem but I don't see the few naysayers creating a boycott some year, do you.

When it gets to you folks bliadhna mhath

Paul,
first comment was a generalisation.
From above: the point is it's bugger all to do with us, it's the decision of the organising club not the riders to decide the rules and regs, you like them put an entry in you don't, well I quite sure folk can spectate, help out or find something else.
You've made a comment in the thread about the Sportsman Class about the changes YOU have made to YOUR events to make them more rideable, It was YOUR decision probably based on feedback and you manybe have the option to do that. I don't think the Edinburgh Club have that choice, they react to the pressures of the demands of this one event.
