DEFRA CASUALTY
iianorthants:
might need to ask defra or a farmer that runs these, the only part I can find on there website is restriction to non agricultural activity's is when applying for single-payment scheme. doesn't say all farms just the ones applying :?
iianorthants:
hmm seems like people are just cancelling trough spite, as I can't see many off-road course on farmers land used for anything else, so the farm can set the land aside
read this, might give some back ground info for anyone that too worried

Yep.. that was what I thought too.
We aren't in the scheme here, so we could run events if we wanted to.
jalopy joe:
The thing is that whatever the rights and wrongs of the interpretation of the ruling, if the landowner wont allow you on his land, then end of story. I would think that the income from the average club event would not be enough to encourage them to take a chance.
johnniep:
it has taken effedt, was doin a bit of laneing down here and calle di non a farmer down the road and his first words were sorry boy, no way!, i hadnt said a word and apparently any sights of a vechicle or bike on his land and he looses his subsidy, and the best of it was he's been runing ploughing contests on his land for 20yrs and doint that this year would mean breaking the deal and consiquently loosing his subsady.
also in motorcycle news last wek there was a whole page with cancled events.
it cant carry on soo i think a protest is in order!
j.p :twisted:
