Surrey Schoolboy Trials Club was established in 1972 by Trials riders Keith Dopson, Rag Sutton and Bill Boniface whose sons wanted to ride but were too youg to enter in adult events.In 1974 the club joined the A.C.U ( Auto Cycle Union ) and since then has always run under their auspices with the aim of giving young riders training and competition in off road motorcycling.Later on other lads wanted to have a go at Trials Riding but, although their families could buy the bike and clothing, they had no knowledge of actual riding themselves. It was decided that before any new members could take part in a Trial they had to go to a training area until they were able to ride their bikes safely. In 1975 the Pit Stop Youth Scramble Club offered to share a piece of land at Lyne, Thorpe, which was used for this purpose.The club originally catered for riders between the age of 6 and 21 years of age. Today the Club caters for riders between the age of 4 and 17 years of age and riders up to the age of 21 are still welcome but ride for no award.
