The NETA History Project was started in January 2023 by Steve Christensen & David Scarbro. The goal is to organize and preserve the history of NETA and regional trials through documents, pictures and video. Alan Gasbarro, Leo O’Shea, George Truesdale & Dan Williams helped by contributing material and providing recollections.
This history is a “work in progress”. Over time, we hope to add more material about (and from) many veteran riders in New England. If you have something to contribute, please contact history@newenglandtrials.com.
The documents and pictures are stored on Google Drive. Videos are stored on YouTube. All of this information organized and presented through the NETA website.

All New England Trials Association rulebooks from 2003 to now. There were no rulebooks for 2007 & 2008 in the archives. They may have been misplaced or another possibility is the 2006 rulebooks was used for three years because no rule changes were made for those years. During the COVID pandemic, the 2020 season was cancelled. The 2020 rulebook was used for the 2021 season.
The newsletters (in PDF format) were published from 2003 through 2015. Mike Green was editor 2003-2008, Caroline Allen 2009-2012 and Trebor Heminway 2013-2015.

Exciting News Volunteers Needed!
In an effort to attract and develop more youth riders in our sport, NETA has decided to form a youth committee. This committee will work together to design, coordinate and implement a 2023 Youth Championship series. We will be heading up this committee and need the help of other willing NETA members to make it a success. Working together as a team, we are confident this will bring more youth and life into our club than we have seen in many years. All interested NETA members please reach out to Jeff & Kelly Dorman ASAP so planning can get underway.
Thank you!
