Mission Statement

The goal of the New England Trials Association (NETA) is to promote the sport of observed trials. To that end, the NETA serves as a governing organization that sets the schedule, maintains a set of competition rules, records results and oversees year end awards for a regional Observed Trials Championship Series. Independent New England area clubs participate in this series.

2025 Awards Banquet

The awards banquet for the 2024 season was held January 18th. We had 90 attendees and 46 at the business meeting. This year’s raffle was the best ever with 1392 tickets sold. There were over 125 raffle items this year from importers, regional dealerships and NETA members. The silent auction featured a range of awesome donations including a Dunlop trials tire, Jitsie helmet, $200 in gift certificates, top notch leather goods and an awesome selection of lighted wall/table signs.

  • Two NETA members were inducted into the Hall of Fame at the 2025 NETA Awards Banquet. Max and Bill give of their time selflessly to support local trials and have been doing so for decades. They are instrumental in helping to create the trials events we enjoy every season. We are proud to recognize them by adding their names to the NETA Hall of Fame.
  • Next year’s banquet will be held Feb. 7, 2026 at Devens Conference Center.
