Central TREC Group exists to promote the rapidly growing sport of TREC and to run training events and competitions for members and non-members alike.

Our activities are centred on the counties of Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire but we welcome any offers to run events of any type outside these areas as we wish to encourage increased involvement in the organisation of events to enable more TREC activities to be offered.

Central TREC Group has been run on non-profit making lines since it was formed in 2011.  In late 2015, the club registered with the Charities Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, in order to take advantage of the better regulations for this type of organisation that this structure offers.

The committee includes a range of TREC experience from experienced and successful TREC riders to TREC enthusiasts who have not completed a competition but enjoy the satisfaction of running a smooth event that riders can enjoy.

If you would like to offer any kind of help to the club in any way shape or form, be it joining the committee, running a competition, helping at a competition or offering some form of financial assistance such as event sponsorship then please do get in contact via central@trecgroup.co.uk; we would love to hear from you!

SAVE THE DATES

We have opened a new bank account for Central (as our old bank account now requires a phone-app based online security process, but the app has dreadful reviews and their phone customer services line usually has a long queue). This account should hopefully pass all checks for online banking, which the old one didn’t always. Please could anyone who pays money to the club by BACS update their records with the new bank details:

Lloyds account, sort code 30-54-66, account number 34880160

PayPal payments will of course be unaffected (so can still be sent to paypal@trecgroup.co.uk if being sent direct, as well as via the Store), as I have updated the necessary details my end.

On the subject of PayPal, I would like to make a request – please send payments over to us in the smallest number of transactions that you can. PayPal charge fees (they are as low as we can get them, as we are a registered charity) made up of a transaction fee and a percentage of the payment amount. Putting a membership fee and an event entry together means they are paid for together and so only one transaction fee is incurred. The amounts are small but they add up with possibly £20-30 unnecessarily going to PayPal each year.

If you have any problems or queries about either of the above please contact me via central@trecgroup.co.uk. Many thanks, Helen
