Well done to Hafren
By TMX Archives on 23rd Jul 08
CHAIRMAN of the ACU Trials and Enduro Committee and FIM Jury member, John Collins, wishes to congratulate the Hafren Dirt Bike Club for running an excellent World Enduro Championship round at Llanidloes last weekend. Despite the best at-tempts of the Welsh weather on Friday and Saturday, the weekend provided great entertainment for the thousands of spectators who braved the conditions, with the broad consensus being that this was one of the best organised and most challenging World Enduros
witnessed for many years.
John Collins said, The ACU Trials and Enduro Committee would like to pass on their thanks to the Hafren DBC for a superb event. They surpassed everybody's expectations, running an event that will undoubtedly become a benchmark for future rounds of the World Championship.
You did a
great job
I JUST want to pass on my thanks to everyone who made the WEC event in Wales happen.
Through my racing, I have had the pleasure of competing all over the world and I have to say that the organisation by the Hafren Dirt Bike Club was second to none. More importantly though, the UK has now made a great impression on all of the teams that took part in the event, as the feedback I personally received was first class.
The paddock at the Hafren Rugby Club was well laid-out and looked professional, the special tests were great to ride in the wet and dry, and the event enabled spectators to see plenty of action.
Hosting an event such as the WEC in the UK is an important step forward for the off-road industry in the UK. It gives anyone with a slight interest in off-road an opportunity to see the real thing. This can only be a positive move for the
industry.
Thanks again to the organisers, the marshals and the teams and also to Ed and Kate Jones for putting us up.

It was
awesome
AFTER spending the whole weekend at the WEC in Llanidloes as a spectator, I would like to pass on my huge congratulations to the Hafren Dirt Bike club and ALL of the behind the scenes' people that made such a great event happen.
Logistically the event was massive and as an event organiser myself (WEC well out of my league!) I was blown away by how much must have been involved.
OK, time card enduros are hard to follow and spectate at, this one was as
well, if you wanted to see lots of action you had to be swift on your feet and prepared to walk, but the Hafren DBC boys and girls did a fantastic planning and preparation job that made the whole weekend and event just superb.
From the paddock through to the friendly townfolks of Llanidloes it was awesome.
I hope the club have managed to break even although I very much doubt it, and I hope they do run one again. It was so nice to catch up with so many old faces and friends in what can only be described as a Dirt Bike carnival.
Once again, Hafren DBC, very well done indeed, you are true Enduro people.
Steve Ireland and all at WOR Events.
