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

Your 2025 licence expires on 31st January 2026. Auto renewal payments will be taken on this date.
