HC2DT 2020 – Information on Entries

Highland Classic Two Day Trial 2020 – The Fantic Edition: ~

Entries will open on Saturday 1st February 2020 and are limited to 160 entrants. Entry Form and Regulations will be available as a pdf download from the IDMCC website on the Highland Classic page and on facebook.

Since 2014 we have usually been oversubscribed and we run the entry system on a First Come, First Entered basis, no ballot.


We also have a reserve entry list made up of those entries recieved when the allocation has been filled and we find that between 10-15% usually drop their entry before the event due to circumstances outwith the entrants control.


There will be a box in the entry form to tick to let us know that an entrant wishes to be on the reserve list if their entry  has been received after the allocation is full.

IDMCC re-certify

The club officials are re-certified for next season as holders of SACU Officials Licences for the next three years.

This is a requirement for insurance purposes and a special seminar was hosted at the Drumossie Hotel on Saturday 9th November by SACU Trials Committee chairman, Allister Stewart, who also rides trials.

Twelve IDMCC members took the test which included Chairman Grant Coward, Secretary, John Moffat and committee members and members, Mieke De Vos; Jim Reid; Geoff Davison; Chief Marshall, Jimmy Jenkins; Garry Coward; Vice Chairman, Gordon Murray; Leigh Bremner; Competitions Secretary, Stewart Anderson; Rick Lound and Alick Murray.

What this means is the club can continue to promote events at all levels, from Closed to Club, Open To Scotland and Scottish Nationals which include the annual Paul Kilbauskas Memorial and Highland Classic Two Day trials.

Training is on the way

With the certification of four new club coaches, the IDMCC is now well placed to add value to your club membership in 2019 and beyond.

Recently four of our members have been trained by SACU Head Coach, Neil Dawson, the 1991 & 1993 Scottish Trials Champion and seasoned SSDT rider at a seminar held at the Fairburn Activity and Conference Centre, near Muir of Ord.

Watch out for details of forthcoming Training and Coaching days for both adult and youth club members.

Our Club Coaches are: committee men, Rick Lound; Grant Coward and John Garth with club member Ashleigh Davison.
