Comment
I've been helping clubs improve their event entries and digital processes since 2016 with the Trials Australia Online Entries system which several hundred Aussie trials riders have used.
I made some bad tech decisions with it early on that meant I couldn't add new features as quickly as I wanted. Over the last 7 months I've since migrated it to an entirely new platform and website called Entry Place.
I'm very happy to say that the first event that's running entirely on Entry Place is the 2022 NSW Trials Championships hosted by The Pacific Park Trials Club. Like many events in 2021 affected by the pandemic, this championship event was rescheduled twice and ultimately cancelled due to the pandemic last year. Pacific Park itself has been flooded multiple times this year and the adjacent Hawkesbury river is flooding right now.
Give PPTC your support and ride at this fantastic championship event in September (and of course also the other events I've linked to in this newsletter)!
