The Scott Trial Charity Presentation

[laird387a]

Scott Trial Presentation Evening was held at The Buck In, Reeth, on April 7/2017.
The Scott trial charity donations were handed out to many local recipients. The evening began with
Treasurer Richard Hague giving a brief history of the Scott trial from its first running in 1914 up to its present day.

Richmond Motor Club President Nigel Cummins then presented the cheques to the various local charities.

Some of the recipients explained how the money would be spent. A grand total of
£10,975.00 was given out this year, which included £3,475 that was raised by
a Charity Team at the trial to be donated to The Mark Adams Trust.

This latest addition brings the total to over £160,000 since Richmond Motor Club
took running of the Scott Trial in 1991. The Richmond Motor Club thank all
who helped and sponsor the trial, far too numerous to mention, and thoughts
now turn to this year’s trial, where the collecting will continue! An excellent
buffet then followed and one recipient of a cheque even had a sit on a
bike!!!!
