Pathfinders & Derby Trials to help riders costs in 2026
At a recent Committee meeting, the Directors of the Pathfinders & Derby MC debated what the club could do to help riders mitigate the increased cost in riding trials in 2026.
As the ACU trials registration fee is being increased from £23 to £35 (which now includes the personal accident element of riders insurance) the Directors felt it right to try to help mitigate the extra cost that their club members now face.
With the ACU renegotiating their insurance contract and reducing the amount clubs have to pay, together with a substantial support package from the ACU East Midland Centre to their member clubs, the Directors of Pathfinders & Derby MC felt a good way to help riders would be to simply reduce trials entry fees.
For 2026, Pathfinders & Derby Trials entry will be reduced to £15 for each trial.
Bryan Tuxford, President of Pathfinders & Derby MC said:
“Our club has been in existence since 1931 promoting Road Racing, Scrambling(MX), Trials and Grass Track over many years, and more recently only running Trials at our Clifton Trials Ground”
“We have always tried to provide lowest cost motorcycle sport for riders, and understand even small increases in riders cost can affect entry numbers to events. We want to do all we can to retain participation and grow our chosen sports”
