The organising Committee of the Keedwell ACU Trial GB Series are delighted to welcome Sammy Miller as an official Sponsor for the 2020 championship. Whilst the Keedwell Group will remain as title sponsor for the year, Series Manager Brian Higgins visited the eleven times British Champion’s Museum last month with ex British and European Sidecar Champion, Colin Dommett and an immediate agreement was made. Obviously, the sport has changed since Miller’s domination of the British and European scene in the sixties and seventies, but Sammy’s professionalism marked the beginning of the modern Trials Era. Series Manager, Brian Higgins was delighted with the association, “I am absolutely delighted to be working with Sammy again after our association with the Honda project back in the seventies. His knowledge of the sport and dedication shines through and I look forward to welcoming him to some rounds throughout the season”. Talks are underway with existing sponsors, Wulfsport and Point – S where it is hoped that their valuable input in 2019 will continue. Following his retirement from mainstream Trials, Miller now owns and runs the highly successful Motorcycle Museum with over five hundred prestige machines on show which highlights the attention to detail the great man still holds for all types of motorcycles. Sammy holds the all-time record being 11 times successive British Champion and winner of over 1400 events! Speaking about his rekindled link with the British Series, Sammy commented, “I would like to see the Championship become an even more prestigious event in the Trials world! ” The eight round series will cover all parts of England and Wales during the summer season and starts at Hookwood in Surrey on Saturday 7th March.
