Additional Information:

I have been a committee member of the Lightweight Motorcycle Club (Ulster Centre) since I was 17yrs old and have held the office of chairman on two separate occasions.
I have represented my Club as delegate attending the Ulster Centre and have also been a member of the Ulster Centre Trials committee.
Aside from competing regularly in C class Ulster and Irish Championship Trials, I intend through Trialstar taking a more active role coaching youth riders.
I attended as minder/coach both the Youth and Adult Inter-Centre Team competitions during the summer in Scarborough. I enjoy and feel it is necessary to pass on the experiences gained to other motorcyclists of all ages, which will help develop their existing skills.
During the last four years I have organised Motorcycle Trial demonstrations for Red Bull energy drink company at various locations throughout Ireland. These shows have attracts a large amount of public interest, this is something that Trialstar wishes to build and expand upon.
