Welcome to the web site of the Eastern Thumpers, a national pre-65 trial run by the Eastern Fourstroke Association in the East of England. Currently the organising club, the Eastern Fourstroke Association, does not have its own web site and at the current rate of progress probably never will! Nevertheless, this site has been prepared anyway as a service to past, present and future riders as well as anyone who may be a spectator or someone interested in learning a little more about the pre-65 scene in East Anglia. As a service to our visitors, we have also included past copies of our club magazine, Trials and Tribulations dating back to January 2008.


The Eastern Fourstroke Association which runs the Eastern Thumpers trial is the premier pre-65 trials club in the Eastern Centre and we suspect, probably one of the premier pre-65 trials clubs in the country but..... if you know differently, please contact us.


The Eastern Thumpers has been running since 1981 without a break although in 2000, it had to be postponed a couple of months due to adverse weather conditions. Over the years, the event has proved to be very popular, with riders entering from many parts of the country. Not surprisingly though, most are from the Eastern Centre ACU and its adjacent centres. Occasionally we have also had entries from France and Sweden as well. However, it is now some years since foreign riders have entered.


Entries numbers have varied from between 80 and 140 which is about as many as we can reasonably accept. We layout sections for all classes of pre-65 rider and machine, the classes being Pre-unit, Unit, Tele-Rigid, Girder-Rigid, 2-Stroke, Sidecars and Specials. The Specials class is intended for machines which are considered to fall outside the spirit of pre-65 competition but has been included so that no-one who wants a ride is turned away. On this site you will find the award winners and items from previous Thumpers programmes/results.


The event for 2010 will be held on 22nd November and as such, the permit will be applied for in July and regulations released in late September. As has become the standard practice in recent years, all riders of the past two year’s events will be sent a set of regs. However, much closer to the date, it is anticipated that you will also find a file on this site that can be download which comprises the regulations and entry form for the 2010 event.

PLEASE NOTE
I am pleased to announce that the EFA now has an official website, something that Jim and I have wanted for a long time. Anyway, the address for the site is:

http://eastern-fourstroke-association.co.uk

Anyone wishing to find out what is happening at the EFA and what events are being run should refer to the above website since www.thumpers.org.uk will not be maintained from now on. However, it will continue to be available until the end of 2012 should anyone wish to access any item contained on the site. Thereafter, if you are not already doing so, please refer to the above website. We thank you for your visits over the past many years but now trust that you will visit the new official website.
