The CBAI’s International Committee has decided on the following dates for our CBAI trials for the foreseeable future:
- Pre-Qualifier Trials – the last weekend in September, so 24-25 September for 2022/23 season, closing date for entries 12 August 2022;
- Camrose Trials – the last weekend in October, so 29-31 October for 2022/23 season, closing date for entries 16 September 2022;
- Lady Milne Trials – the second weekend in November, so 11-13 November for 2022/23 season, closing date for entries 30 September 2022;
- Teltscher Trials – the first weekend in February, so 3-5 February for 2022/23 season, closing date for entries 16 December 2022.
This exercise will streamline the number of weekends required for trials, and will allow both the CBAI and potential triallists to plan their calendars with certainty. Our thanks to the International Committee (Ranald Milne, Convenor, Hilary Dowling-Long, Micheal O Briain, Derek Gorman, and Lucy Phelan) for their work on this issue, and to all the potential triallists who gave us their feedback and responded to surveys.
