Trials News
Over £759 raised at our Rene Pearce Charity Trial!
From L to R: Helen Soby, Mark Trewin, John Luckett, Gill Sabotig, John Sabotig, Robin Thorne, Stuart Cann and Allen Boycott
This year’s Rene Pearce Charity Trial took place once again in hot sunshine. Host John Sabotig together with Robin Thorne, Mark Trewin and Stuart Cann prepared an excellent mixture of sections through the woody valley at Hessaford Farm. Sections 7, 9 & 10 were the most challenging however they did not stop Paul McGrath, Timothy Heard and Corey Wood all completing flawless performances. Credit too, to Shaun Kershaw, Andrew Evenden and Hudson Ravenhill-White who picked up just four marks between them. Well done to you all.
Many club members made up the fifty one riders who entered however the holiday season meant we also had entries from as far afield as Derbyshire and the Channel Islands. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, club members and visitors alike, turning out to support Myeloma UK our chosen charity for this season.
Each year in the UK approximately 5,700 people are diagnosed with myeloma. Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer. At any one time there are 24,000 people living with myeloma in the UK including our own club member Mick Thompson. Myeloma accounts for 15% of blood cancers and 2% of all cancers.
Myeloma UK myeloma.org.uk was set up to provide information, support and advice to sufferers of this insidious disease.
A fantastic £759 was raised via entry fees, donations on the day and from well-wishers.
Hosts Gill and John Sabotig said “We are very pleased with the amount raised and would like to thank everyone who contributed for their kind generosity. We have hosted the Charity Trial for more than 16 years, which has now raised over £14,093 for a variety of good causes.”
Club Chairman Allen Boycott added “The Rene Pearce Charity Trial is a long running and important feature on the clubs annual fixture list. My thanks to John & Gill, and to all those who competed or officiated, for raising awareness and funds for this important charity ”.
July 18th 2021 Rene Pearce Charity Trial & Youth D Championship
Over £820 raised at our Rene Pearce Charity Trial!
Following the relaxation of Covid rules T&D was delighted to resume its annual Rene Pearce Charity Trial this year. Over 60 club members, supporters and friends turned out on a beautiful sunny Sunday in July with the aim of enjoying a terrific day of sport whilst raising funds for the Livewell Foundation.
The Livewell Foundation was set up in December 2016 by Livewell Southwest CIC. Livewell Southwest is an independent social enterprise providing integrated health and social care services for people across Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon.
The Livewell Foundation was set up to administer the charitable funds to support the services run by Livewell Southwest and to enable it to fulfil its community interest to distribute funds to fantastic causes and initiatives.
The charity was chosen because of the excellent care received by one of our club members, following a stroke, at the Mount Gould Hospital.
An amazing £824.96 was raised via entry fees, donations on the day and from well-wishers.
Hosts Gill and John Sabotig said “We are thrilled with the amount raised and would like to thank everyone who contributed for their kind generosity. We have hosted this event for more than 15 years, which has now raised over £13,334.00 for a variety of local charities.”
Club Chairman John Luckett added “The Charity Trial is an important feature on the clubs annual fixture list. I am delighted we could reinstate it this year and with the amount raised”.
