Standard Forms
Be aware that this page was mostly written before the introduction of the Sport:80 system and procedures have changed depending on whether your club have reverted to older paperwork methods of running events or jumped in with both feet on the new system, either way, don't hesitate to ask how from the appropriate source found on our HQ Contacts listing
The majority of forms required to run events are found on the ACU website under the menu bar option of 'Organiser' - 'Event Paperwork'. Your club will have access to the full set by using your Club's Official ACU login (Your Club Sec has access to this.) This ACU page has all the required off-road paperwork links for 2023 (Apparently).
Below, you will find those forms commonly used by our centre where we have modified them to suit most of our local events.
Note: Our interactive PDF forms which allow you to type on screen and 'tab' through forms calculating totals etc., work best when you open them with Adobe Acrobat Reader and some other PDF readers. If you use some default programs in Apple or Windows PC's they may not work. This also applies to some browsers that use their own readers, you may need to save the file/link as a pdf first then open with Acrobat Reader. You can get the free Reader direct from Adobe for any device from the linked image on the right.
Also, be aware that the intention is that these forms need to be either printed after filling all relevent information in then signed manually, or filled then emailed. The recipients may not accept digital signatures yet, maybe that will come later. (When it comes to entry forms, you may be asked to sign on the day anyway, though ACU not required if emailed in.)
Current Modified Centre Documents (2022 versions and some 2023 - more to come, prod me if you need one sorted.)
(C8) Centre Trials Championship and Open Event Entry Form (Note, this has now been reinstated and updated to 2023 thanks to a general lack of confidence in the new S:80 system. among our clubs.) - This one has tick boxes for all the main classes with Class numbers. It is fillable on screen, then the user uses 'Save As' to either print or email as an attachment to an entry sec if Regs permit this. The signed field may be left blank if you are unsure how to, or type in.
(P1) Permit Application Form 2022 -This is the one you send to Permit Secretary Roy Savery with 2 copies of Regs, if posting, and a cheque (payable to 'R Savery'). If you are going to use the ACU's Online entry system then you will need to email him a PDF version of the Regs too, (with the permit number on, which means after he has issued a number). You should also email the editor (editor@acuwesterncentre.org.uk) the PDF version when the permit number has been amended for inclusion on the Event Calendar.
P1 2022 Permit Application Form for ACU Western (Premier Insurance)
(A1) Insurance Statement Form 2022 (Trials Only) - The one you need to fill out after the event with rider and officials numbers and include a cheque. You know, the one that the Permit Secretary sends out to you but goes missing or ends up with another club member just when you want it, because you know it has to be sent in within 14 days.
This one is an interactive pdf which allows you to type in the values then tab to the next part and the totals get calculated (double-check, of course.) before printing off and sending to Tom with a Cheque payable to 'Western Centre A.C.U.' (remember that some permits come from HQ and that is who you should send to and pay if that is the source. Normally only for Nationals, Forestry events etc.)
2022 A1 Insurance Statement as sent out for Trials
Steward's Report Form for Trials 2023 -This is the one the appointed Steward fills out with information supplied by the Organising club about numbers etc. and completes the report sections of the form. This version is in Microsoft Word format (.doc). If the user places their cursor to the right of title text in each box then the correct font is used. If you do not have software that will open Microsoft Word documents then here is a printable PDF form.
Completed forms should be sent or delivered to the ACU Western Secretary for Restricted and Open events where they are the permit issuing authority. National Events and events run on Forestry Commission land normally go to HQ.
Contact details for ACU Western Secretary Jennie Jones.
