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.

Constitution and Bylaws

At the 2024 business meeting, the Constitution and Bylaws of the New England Trials Association were accepted by an unanimous membership vote.

2024 Season

  • Membership Application – Renewals and signups for this season.
  • Event Gates – Trash reduction and money saving change for section setup.
  • Beginner Class – Change to make starting out in trials easier.
  • Plaques – Big money saving change to help clubs bottom line. With increased property tax bills and insurance costs, putting on a trials event can be a money losing proposition for clubs when weather keeps riders home.

2024 Awards Banquet

The awards banquet was held at a new upscale location and with 93 attendees, had the largest turnout in recent memory.
