Torridge & District motorcycle club was founded in 1957. The club organised Trials, Motorcross and Enduro events for over 50 years but now concentrates on running Trials events for people of all ages and abilities.
The club operates in the North and West Devon area organising trials all year round from Tavistock to Hartland. We cater for all abilities of rider from beginners to experts and from youth as young as five years old to adults into their 80s. We regularly hold small club trials but also host regional and national events. So, if you want to join an off-road motorcycle club, small enough to make you feel welcome, but large enough, and with experience of staging events to the highest national level, all for £5.00 per annual membership, please feel free to contact Helen on 077 33 300 769.
We hope this site gives newcomers to the sport of off-road motorcycling an insight to what it is all about, and for regulars, fixture lists, club news and results.

2026 ACU membership, T&DMCC club membership and riders licence renewal - updated information 25.11.25
You can apply for 2026 memberships etc from 10 November onwards. If you need help with the ACU website call Helen on 077 33 300 769 (evenings after 19:30hrs) who will be happy to help you.
The cost of 2026 annual ACU membership is Adult £35, Youth A & B £25, Youth C, D & E £15. The £50 fee recently advised by the ACU only applies to trials riders who ride at Trial GB level, in other words, if you ride Trials at the level of Normandale or club events your annual fee is £35. The new cost provides extended insurance cover, for adults only, as it is intended to cover loss of earnings. If an adult has an accident leading to hospitalization they can start to claim after 3 days in hospital (previously 2 weeks). The maximum payout will be £2,000.00 per hospital stay.
Trials Day Licences - adult day licences will be £10 in 2026 (the rate provides the above mentioned level of insurance cover for an injury sustained at the event for which the licence was purchased); youth day licences remain at £5
Torridge & District MCC annual club membership (1st Jan to 31st Dec) is still only £5
You must have 2026 club membership to get your 2026 trials rider’s licence.
Auto renewal - even if you have set up ACU membership auto renewal, to activate your 2026 riders’ licence, you will need to log in to your account and renew your club membership (unless you also set your club membership to auto renew)
Youth - youth riders may need to upload a recent photograph to activate their 2026 rider’s licence
