The Brian Valder Memorial & Charity Trial - 3 December 2023
Info
Well that didn't quite go to plan, going from Frozen ground to then rain on top. To many of us older riders these score were a common occurance.
Updates - Final Results
The Brian Valder Trial 2023 raised more than £1,000 for charity. The ACU Benevolent Fund, which assists riders and officials of ACU events, will receive £1,080 from entry fees, and the ACU which waived the insurance levy for this event. Sales of hot food at the end of the trial by Brian's daughter Amanda and her husband raised £178 and all of that will go to the 'Ben Fund' thanks to them paying for all the burgers, sausages, rolls and hot drinks. This was an event run by the ACU Western in memory of a great servant to motorcycle sport in both Western and South Midland centres and the centre is very grateful to Brian's family for their support. The burgers went down well with riders and officials, who had a testing day. Thank you to all the riders who supported the event - a large number who didn't fancy the weather still donated their entry fees to the charity. And of course a massive thanks to the observers who turned up on the day, the course prep team, the marking out team, and the paperwork team!.
