thebox Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi I am trying to set up a trial on a piece of Forestry Commision land. It has been used in the past but at least ten years ago. Can someone who has had dealings with them, please let me know. Is there a formal application process? If so who to? Do they impose any particular conditions on the event? Any other help or advise would be appreciated. Thanks nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi Nick contact Mary Kerr at the often criticised ACU. There is a national agreement between the ACU and the FC Mary will provide the forms for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 short answer - ask the ACU Trials & Enduro dept long answer - there is a national deal on price and conditions but i know many details can/do vary locally. price down here is per rider (one rate for trials, another for enduro) above a set minimum (i think its 50 but i might be getting mixed up with the MOD land deal). Forestry want at least 6 months notice of date, and you have to consider stuff like SSSI (some might forbid bikes, other might just be during bird nesting). forestry are also hot on paddock mats so oil & fuel isn't spilt. going to need a good & decent risk assessment, probably need to have loos. often even is national and local forestry commission offices are OK, the decision will be passed along to the warden for that forest who will say what areas can/can't be used. obviously they don't speak our lingo (at beast they might know what an enduro is, but not a trial) so there will be communication issues over what you want to do.
