If you enjoyed the Pathfinder 3 stage, then you should seriously consider the South Reading clubs New Musketeers event. This is the only other 3 stage out there. I rode the inaugural event and had a great day. I strongly recommend you give it a try!

It is with great sadness, we have to report the passing of Ron Walters.

Ron has been a regular supporter of the Nomads Club Trials over several years, He won the Clubman Route’ C’ Shield in 2021, 2022 and 2023 scoring a hat-trick.

Sadly, our most recent Trial turned out to be his final ride.

Ron’s funeral will be held at 1pm on Wednesday 26th June at South Oxfordshire Crematorium, Garford, Abingdon, OX13 5PA.

The wake will follow at The Plough at Hanney, Church St, West Hanney, Wantage OX12 0LN. There is no dress code and all are welcome. No flowers please, but if you would like to, please send a donation to Myeloma UK via Ron’s MuchLoved page. As you may know, Ron’s son Darren passed away from this disease last year so it’s a charity close to the family’s hearts. https://ronwalters.muchloved.com/
