Report: Hobs Hole and Seymour's Arena - AMCA Droitwich Youth Trials Club
By TMX Contributor on 4th Jul 22
In 2022, a new Youth trials club was born. The AMCA Droitwich Youth Trials Club (DYTC) is a family of four who aim to give kids a proper trials championship in the Midlands, and a stepping stone to the boys and girls British Championship.
The championship, an Official OSET Cup, and also the West Midlands Youth Trials Championship open to petrol machines, is a six-round tour using some of the best venues the area has to offer.
To date, three rounds have taken place Shatterford near Kidderminster, Hobs Hole at Walsall and Seymours Arena in Didcot and have attracted 60 riders. The next rounds are to take place at Earl Shilton Trials Club, Howards Wood near Stourbridge and finally at Breakheart Quarry in Gloucestershire. With one final party round TBA, to give out the championship prizes.
Most recently, the club had a back-to-back at Hobs Hole and Seymours Arena. There was close competition on all four routes in both the electric and petrol classes. A real fantastic family atmosphere and some tough sections, along with good weather really made this a fantastic event. Riders and parents travelled anything from 10 minutes to four hours.
The Red route had national-level riders such as Kayleigh Rich, Samuel Millmore, Samuel Lefevre and Aaron Watson. Right down to up-and-coming stars like Emily Thompson, Harry Craig and George Turner.
Kayleigh Rich
At Seymours Arena, the riders were lucky to have Alicia Robinson and Matt Dixon in attendance. Alicia is one of the UKs leading female riders and Matt has been minding Adam Raga but is a great rider himself and spent the day helping our George and Ruby Wareing at the famous home of the Super Trial.
Heavy overnight rain kept course plotters, Andy and Caz Rich, on their toes. Setting up was an eight-hour workout, followed by some 7am changes on Sunday!
It wasnt just about the competition and it was great to see families staying on after the trial for some practice and socialising.
The sections are left out until everyone is finished playing, no matter the time. Andy and Caz understand the importance of the after-trial fun!
We hope to see more riders at our next event at Earl Shilton Trials Club on June 26.
Thanks to our sponsors MK Off-Road, Woodrobes, Central Scanning and the awesome Trials Day.
