North Monaghan Trials
The North Monaghan Trials will take place slightly later than usual, the date being February 12, at a new venue, Todds Leap.
This will be the Sixth Round of the Ulster Championship and is scheduled to start at 11am.
Although the course may be designed for Ulster Championship status, the course will also be set out to encourage beginners and those who have little trials experience, so get all of those trials bikes out and get the dust off them.

Please note change of date. It was originally scheduled for 15th January.
