turbodean Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Trying to find details of Trials clubs (where and when they meet etc) in South East Wales, I had a trials bike when i was younger and use to be a member of Islwyn MCC but not sure this is still running. I'm now thinking of getting another trials bike but would like to know if there are any clubs local to me first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzaecowarrior Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Merthyr is my club and they put on very good trials. I also regulary ride Dulais Valley, Neath, and Gwent Schoolboys. I haven't ridden any Pontypool trials yet but I am riding one of theirs this saturday so I will let you know. Like yourself, I returned to trials a year ago after a 15 year break and I have really enjoyed it. All the clubs are really friendly with lots of people willing to give you advice. All the clubs do an easy route to help get you back into it. welshtrials.com is a very good website too. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzaecowarrior Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Kay and Dai Bedford run Merthyr. Tel 01685350798. Buy a copy of Trial and Moto X News and all the events are advertised at the back. The welshtrials.com site has a list of contact numbers etc. By the way, don't let the name confuse you, the Gwent Schoolboys isn't just for schoolboys.
