telecat Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 The situation is that Yeadon Guiseley have the rights to manage the use of Addingham Moorside. The club are looking at ways of using the additional days that are available when all the Trials have been taken into account. This may be practice days over the summer or additional events loaning the land to other clubs. Either way the intention is to run the MacKenzie there and the usual number of Beginner, club and centre trials. It was unfortunate that the First Trial coincided with the worst rain for a number of years and given the anticipation that the event had attracted it was felt the car park would not be able to cope. It normally attracts over a hundred riders and parking is a problem even when the weather is favourable. I Believe the plan is to run an event fairly soon so keep an eye on the event pages here and the Yeadon Guiseley web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live locally I suggest you, (and any other locals), try and unseat the councillor who initiated the problem and Stopped ALL activity on the "Nab". In the meantime If you wish to use the land for practice then propose it to the club or indeed to your club and get them to inquire about using the land. West Leeds and Spen Valley have both used Addingham in the past few months for Trials I'm certain if another club wishes to use the land for a trial or practice it can be negotiated within any days left.

The land has not been "taken over" the club merely manages the land due to the restrictions placed on it by Bradford council. Mr. Fothergill does not want the council to take him to court over the use of the land and as a club Yeadon-Guiseley has historically used the land for more years than I care to remember. I completeley agree that the loss of the land for practice was a major blow to Riders BUT as previously stated I suggest you get on the Silsden web site and track down the Counncillor responsible and aim to get him unseated. Perhaps then you can aim to get "The Nab" re instated as a practice ground by threatening his position. He seems to have deliberately set out to get on the council, then the planning committee in his efforts to close it. If your feelings are as strong you can make a difference. If he holds meetings attend and harang him. As a resident you are perfectly entitled to make his life as a councillor difficult. Yeadon Guiseley main thrust was to make the land available for trials. As a resident you want a practice ground. MAKE HIM AWARE OF THAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
