Welcome to Camborne and Redruth Motor Club
The Camborne and Redruth Motor Club , now in it’s 78th year, started 2025 on a high in January with The Colin Dommett Trial held on our President’s land at Gilberts Coombe, Redruth. 70 riders of all ages entered this prestigious event and tackled 3 laps of 8 challenging sections which would all have made the late Mr Dommett very proud indeed.
Whilst reflecting on events throughout the past year the club is pleased to include 9 Adult or Main Trials and 12 Oset and Youth Trials. The main trials cater for both adults and youths of all abilities and beginners are always welcome. Our Oset Trials cater solely for Oset electric bikes starting at 4 years old but later, when riders have successfully competed in our Oset series they may move up to petrol engined bikes on our ‘Hard’ course up to the age of 14 years. CRMC are very proud to be authorised by Oset Bikes UK and now Triumph Motorcyles to host the Cornwall Oset Cup series and we remain just one of 9 similar clubs throughout the country hosting dedicated Oset events, hence our strict rule, no petrol bikes unless through our Cornwall Oset series.
Many youth riders competing in our Main Trials have come through our Oset series and have developed the skills to make them real competitors alongside their adult peers. This is exactly why CRMC is so committed to developing young riders through our Oset series and more, these riders are certainly the future for motorcycle trials sport.
The Club awards a variety of cups and trophies to successful competitors and these are presented annually at our Awards Evening which this year will be held at Redruth Rugby Club on Friday 14th March commencing 7pm sharp.
A dedicated team of current trials riders, under the supervision of a Clerk of the Course set out our main trials ensuring that the sections safely cater for riders of all ages, abilities and experience.10 such events are now planned for 2025. The same criteria of safety applies to the monthly Oset Cup and Youth Championship series which, as earlier, cater for riders from 4-14 years and here 12 events are planned along with our annual John Julian Oset & Youth Charity Team Trial where in 2024 our young riders raised a huge £966 for the Childrens Hospice.
Details of all Camborne and Redruth MC events may be found on this website, on the ACU website under ‘Upcoming Trials’ and on the Oset Bikes UK website. Results, reports and photographs are also published here and on the club’s Facebook page. Have a look at the photos here on this website and see the hundreds of action photos from our events.
Club meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at Tricky Dickies, Redruth at 7.30pm, anyone and everyone is welcome to come and meet club members and the Committee. Help is always welcome at all our events and many people ask how they may get involved but don’t know what may be required or don’t have a bike. Observers are the mainstay at our events, people who mark the riders’ score as they ride different sections, this can be an enjoyable day with us and minimal training to help with this takes just minutes. Come along and see for yourself, you will be made very welcome.
Thank you for reading this introduction to our club and this website and we look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon , please do not hesitate to contact us if we can help further as we plan to make 2025 another memorable year for this club and all who support us.
