The Club continue to organise and promote motor sport in the North Yorkshire area with particular emphasis on Motor Cycle sports. National as well as International events have been held at the club with great success. 

The Youth Two day trial in summer is one of the most anticipated events of the year, with many people camping over for the barbeque and evening get together.

In recent years, the club has assisted with local environmental bodies, particularly with reducing bank side erosion on the River Derwent which can lead to sedimentation of the river further downstream.

This has been achieved by the fencing off of areas of the park from motorcycles to help promote the growth of plants that help 'hold the soil together', and also to discourage people from walking on these delicate areas

 

"Motorcycles are not allowed in this area" - Cordoned off areas like this on the riverbank help prevent sedimentation further down the Derwent

 

In August 2001, Low North Park was the location for the filming of a BBC Blue Peter "challenge" for presenter Konnie Huq. Club President and Motocross Quad Racer Andy Noble (2nd from left) taught Konnie (pictured on the quad) to ride round the motocross circuit in less than six minutes in order to successfully complete the challenge.
