GO AHEAD FOR BHS KAWASAKI
HUNTER TRIALS |
The BHS Kawasaki Hunter Trials, on hold because
of FMD, are to go ahead now, with the first competition to be held on Sunday
10 June at Moreton Stables in Dorset.
This venue has been chosen for the first
qualifier because it is situated on arable land with no livestock, and as they
have been holding events there for several weeks now, they are familiar with
the precautionary measures that need to be taken. There have been no cases of
foot and mouth in Dorset.
Main event sponsor Kawasaki Commercial
Products, who have supported the postponement of the qualifiers during the
outbreak of FMD, are delighted to support the go ahead. “We are satisfied
that the BHS has done a thorough risk assessment and will be responding to MAFF
and BEF guidelines, and that the event poses absolutely no danger of spreading
foot and mouth” said Jack Ford, Sales & Marketing Manager for Kawasaki
Commercial Products. “We are delighted that the Kawasaki BHS Hunter Trial
series can now go ahead, and we look forward to an exciting series of
competitions.”
Kay Driver, new BHS Chief Executive, said:
“The BHS Hunter Trials have proved hugely successful with grass roots
riders, and now with sponsors Kawasaki Commercial Products on board, this
season looks set to be a winner. Entries are coming in already.”
Because so many of the qualifiers have had to
be postponed, the Final has been put back, and will now take place at Offchurch
Bury in Warwickshire on 8 and 9 September.
