The MCUI (Ulster Centre) no longer issues trial competition licenses. If you need a trial competition license, apply to the MRA using their license application form. Your club competition secretary can provide you with the form. The MRA accepts existing Ulster Centre licenses, but new applications must use the MRA form. The MRA will also issue start permission for either license. The good news is that the MRA license allows you to ride motocross, enduro, supermoto, and trials.

Knock MCC membership for 2026 is now open for application. The application link is available on the top menu. The Knock club is affiliated to the MRA, we can provide you with an MRA licence. To apply for a license, you must be a Knock Club member. Adult membership costs £6, while youth membership costs £4. If you’re seeking a MRA license (which covers motocross and trials), tick the box indicating your need for a MRA license.

Adult riders can ride in their Grade and the Evo/Vets/Girls class for no extra fee. For a family of 2 or more siblings we will offer discount at sign-on. Tear offs – are not permitted on grass field tracks or Barley Stubbles
