Following the cancellation of the SCEC Round of the Metzeler British Enduro Championship, scheduled for September due to land issues, the Trials and Enduro Committee are delighted to announce the successful replacement venue.

The Central Wales Auto Club (CWAC) have agreed to host the Round on the same dates as originally scheduled, 20th/21st September 2008.

Clerk of the Course for the event, to be named 'The Knighton Enduro', will be Mark Vaughan, Secretary of the Meeting will be Marty Jones.

The Central Wales Auto Club were originally 'pencilled in' to hold Round 1 of this year's Championship, but unfortunately, issues with their land meant this being ruled out.

John Collins, Chairman, ACU Trials & Enduro Committee said, "I am delighted both for the Championship and CWAC that this final Round can still take place. It is important for the Championship, and its sponsor's Metzeler to have a reasonable number of Rounds counting towards the Championship, and also that discussions between the Club and the land owners have proved successful, showing that occasionally 'land issues' does not necessarily mean the total loss of a venue."

Sadly, with the unavoidable clash of dates between the FIM World Enduro Championship Round in Italy and the BAFMA's on 27th/28th September 2008, the final Round of the Metzeler British Enduro Championship, for Championship competitors will be Round 4, the Knighton Enduro, but the Expert, Clubman's, Veteran's and Women's classes will finish at Round 5, the Natterjack Enduro the following week.

Further information will be released in due course.
