The Burton & District Sporting Motorcycle club has provided a training facilities (based at Shobnall Leisure Centre, Burton on Trent) for off-road basic and advanced motorcycle training and has offered a service to the local community since 1995 until December 2006.

Following our lease agreement being terminated in 2006, an alternative site was secured (at the venue of our existing motocross training track at Kingstanding, Newborough Road, Needwood, Staffordshire) with planning permission granted finally in May 2008 for a new “all weather” track to be built. The construction was completed early 2009 and training sessions was recommenced in May 2009.

Our training establishment is a non-commercial venture, run by dedicated volunteers who strive to provide structured motorcycle training, both basic and advanced, giving focus and purpose to all individuals who participate. We have previously worked with youth groups and we make our facilities available for use by the Police and other authorities to help, support and guide, and hopefully reduce and educate offenders who ride irresponsibly.
