W.A. Easter All Age Trials

[Kerry Webster]

The Easter trials were held at our traditional site of Arthur River, one of the few areas with plentiful water at this time of year. The weather was kind with a drizzly day on Saturday, and a very cold wind for most of Sunday. Temperatures were mild.
Camping on site is one of the pleasures of attending the trials at Arthur River which is about 2 1/2 hours south of Perth. Several triallers and helpers took the opportunity to set up their caravans next to the river and enjoy the surrounds.

Two All Age trials were conducted over Saturday and Sunday with the following results:
