About Us

We organize motorcycle trials in Yorkshire from Closed to Club events through Restricted and Centre to National status. Most of our club events are held at Post Hill in Leeds. Centre events are held either at Kilnsey (N. Yorkshire) or Foxup (N. Yorkshire) with our main event of the year The White Rose National held in September every year in the most beautiful part of the Dales near Hawes (See events for full listing). Most of our events have a dual course to cater for riders of different abilities. From 2004 our Club Championship trials will have a three tier course with an easy course for beginners included.

All these events are organized by a small but dedicated band of volunteers who work tirelessly to provide a form of motorcycle sport for the riders who wish to pit themselves and their machine against the obstacles which we lovingly refer to as Observed Sections. All WLMC trials are run under TSR22a.

This band of volunteers meets at the Gildersome Conservative Club on the last Thursday of the month, from 20:00 onwards. Currently subs are only £10 for adult membership and £5 for junior membership for a year. All new members will be made very welcome.

Please look around our website to find out more about us, and the sport of motorcycle trials in general. Please see Contact Page for Secretary details.
