Very Important Press Release from the SACU 16th March 2020 SACU Statement to Members – Coronavirus-19 16th March 2020   The Board of Directors have made the very hard decision to cancel all SACU permitted events till 31 May 2020. We will assess the situation after this date. This has not been an easy decision for the board, but considering the situation with the spread of the virus we believe this is the best way to proceed in the interest of our members and their families to ensure their wellbeing. We will make every effort to ensure scope for any Scottish Championship events to find other dates in the calendar. I hope you all can understand this decision, and that it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of all involved in Motorcycle Sport. Yours in sport. Aye Sandy Mack MBE Chairman This means the    event at Forres and at Tyninghame are both cancelled.

New classes for Enduro for 2020 For 2020 there is a new class Expert B running on the same laps but with longer to do the laps. This to encourage riders from Clubman to enter Expert and gain experience before moving up to Expert A. Expert A nos from 1 - 29 and Expert B from 30 - 39. The first Expert B is Steven Currie Jnr - we are looking for more riders to join him. Newly promoted riders or those finding the Expert class a bit tight can apply to enter the Clubman B. There is also Sportsman Vets class for over 50 Sportsmen . Numbers the same and times the same as Sportsman.  In Hare and Hounds there is also a Sportsman Vets class.

This Years really good cause. Di Stuart of the Bon Accord Club is doing the Kiltwalk this year in aid of a great charity - Motor Neuron Disease.

Final 2019 Championship  Points Enduro - click here Hare and Hounds - Click here The SACU Awards Ceremony will be at Livingston at the end of January - 18th January at the ARMY Reserve Hall - Beveridge Square .  EH54 6QF Can all those with trophies please return them to the SACU at Uphall as soon as possible to get them engraved with our new Champions. Due to very heavy rain Dirtbike Evolution had no choice but to cancel - even the test was flooded. Thanks to Dirtbike Evolution for a great season and some fantastic racing. This meant there were only 9 rounds for the season - and riders who scored points in every round only drop one round. So for 2019 we have a tie for 1st place in the Enduro Championship with Fergus Lamb and Andrew Bisset tied on points. After counting back over 1st places, 2nd places and third place they were still level on points. This has been one of the closest seasons racing for many years and during the year they were only seconds apart after 5 hours of racing. So we have a tied Enduro Championship with both riders being awarded 1st place. Ben Thomson brings up the Expert podium in 3rd Congratulations to our new Champions for 2019 - a great season of racing and a lot of effort by the clubs and the riders   SACU Adult Enduro Champions 2019 Expert 1st  Fergus Lamb 1st  Andrew Bisset 3rd  Ben Thomson Over 40 1st  James Harvey 2nd  Ritchie Finnie 3rd  Alan Davidson Clubman 1st  Jordan Hayes (Promoted to Expert) 2nd  Ben McLuskey 3rd  Steven Currie Jnr Clubman B 1st  George McBeth (Promoted to Clubman ) 2nd  Alan Carson 3rd  Thomas Malcolm Over 50 1st  Andy Dean 2nd  Neil McGregor 3rd  Bill Bruce Sportsman 1st  Robert Graham (Promoted to Clubman B) 2nd  Mark Wilson (Promoted to Clubman B) 3rd  Robbie Murdoch (Promoted to Clubman B) Please note Clubman , Clubman B and Sportsmen riders promoted to a higher class may remain in the same class the following year but will not gain Championship points.

Advice for securing bikes - chain them to the floor or a wall in a garage or secure shed. Remove wheel spindles so the bike can't be pushed away. If in an outside shed use a baby monitor so you can hear if anyone is in the shed. Alarm your bike store. Keep helmets separate so they cant use them to ride away. Avoid having bike specific stickers on your vehicle if it is parked at your house.   When selling a bike - before you show the buyer the bike photograph them and their vehicle. Take a photo of their driving licence. Remove a wheel spindle and disconnect the spark plug before they arrive. Do not give any documents until cheque or cash is paid into bank. If the buyer objects - say goodbye. If possible ask your local police station if you could sell the bike at their premises - crooks will not want to be at a Police Station. At events - Safety advice. Check your vehicles for trackers before you leave. Watch out for any vehicles following you. At events photograph any suspicious people or vehicle taking an interest in bikes.

NOTE ON HELMETS - IMPORTANT. Check before you turn up at an event For 2020 helmets will only pass scrutineering for racing if they carry an ACU gold sticker attached. (Silver stickers are no longer valid All helmets sold as suitable for "ACU competition" will have the stamp affixed by the dealer. If your helmet does not have an ACU sticker attached contact the dealer to ask for the sticker. Helmets can be assessed by the ACU or SACU by posting in the helmet and paying a £15 certification fee - which includes return postage. Helmet or body mounted cameras are prohibited. Cameras may be mounted on the motorcycle. Check the regs in the 2020 ACU Handbook - https://www.acu.org.uk/ridersmembers/acu-handbook.aspx

If you want more riding - the North East of England Championship rounds are well worth doing . Enduro and XC. See http://www.enduro-neec.org.uk/ for more info and a calendar.
