boofont Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) Just wondering what everyone's views are on the two different systems that operate in the UK? For those that don't know, ACU riders pay Edited October 20, 2006 by boofont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 two issues really there 1) if we (ACU) you went to licences we'ld get more money in upfront but over the course of the year you might loose. without specific data telling us how many times a year each trials rider rides we don't know if we've got the majority ridding 50 times a year or many one of trials riders who would have to pay significantly more thus if you went down this road you'ld have to offer day licences as people doing a one off ride won't want to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boofont Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 You never asked for it but I've always been prepared to pay, I guess it's a bit like getting too much change back in a shop; you take the change but will give it back if the cashier notices. Rode a few trials in England they where either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boofont Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Interesting, going to post on UK trials talk to ask how much everyone pays. Might get more folk reading that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) because our centre is so large and has so many trials clubs the centre is divided up, roughly geographically into 5 combines. on the 2nd Sunday of each month is "combine Sunday", and clubs in each combine take it in turn to run a trial. its pitched as being between centre and club trials. this way we can have more trials without getting people upset about clashing. only issue is number of clubs in combines, some only have a few (TVTC has only 4 or 5 IIRC) while others have many (eg NKTC have 8 - did have more). one combine got p****d off over helmets (and other things) and went AMCA. if i understand it correctly the Yorkshire centre and eastern centre have a similar idea but only 2 combines in each ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from the other thread Sidcup & DMCC - South Eastern Centre ACUclub trial - nominal Edited October 23, 2006 by rabie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
