In 1983 a group of 18 driving enthusiasts met at Aldby Park near
York and formed the North East Driving Club. At that time there were
several national 3-day Horse Driving Trials being held throughout
the country, but there were no local events for people to get
started at – so for those keen to have a go at carriage driving, it
was really a case of “in at the deep end”. The founder members felt
that as a group of local enthusiasts they could surely organise some
one day events to encourage people to have a go at carriage driving
without having to incur the expense involved in travelling long
distances around the country.
Over the years since then there has been much progress made and
now NEDTL events are on a par with those held Nationally by British
Carriagedriving.
Since those early days the Club has gone from strength to
strength and now holds over fifteen outdoor events from March to
September, as well as a series of indoor events throughout the
winter, both of which offer drivers the chance to qualify to take
part in National Championships.
We're always delighted to welcome new members, as drivers or
supporters and the benefits of membership include third party
liability insurance cover whilst competing at NEDTL events,
quarterly newsletters and access to regular training.
