2007 Beamish Trophy Trial
ANNOUNCEMENT - BEAMISH CANCELLED
WE ARE NOT HOLDING THE BEAMISH TROPHY TRIAL THIS YEAR (2007).
The club has taken the decision to cancel the event this year. We will now be re-appraising how we run the event, taking into consideration the risks and liability (a major factor in this decision), organisational issues and level of help required on the actual day. We are only a small club and have very limited resources to run such an event. It may be possible for us to hold the event in 2008 but this may be in a different format. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused for entrants due to this being a relatively short-notice decision. If anyone would like to discuss the decision please contact Pete Robson (details elsewhere on website).
Classic Bike Guide sponsor Beamish TT 2006
Classic Bike Guide provided the entrants numbers for this year's trial. CBG Editor Tim Britton entered the trial in 2004 on his Triumph 650.
