The Westmorland Club's land at Lindale was loaned to the Lakes Grass Track Racing Club for their GS Motorcycles sponsored club trial on September 19 and the popularity of this land for the sport attracted an entry of nearly 60 riders where Richard Taylor, now almost fully recovered from a nasty accident some weeks ago, took...
