General Information
If you are new to motocross or thinking about joining our club, the following information should be of interest to you.
Membership
Our memberships run from January 1 to December 31 each year
We have several different types of memberships both for Motocross and also for Vintage Memberships. Full details of the costs are detailed on the Membership Forms found under the "Membership and Entry Forms" menu.
You must be a member of our club to participate in any events. Membership forms are always available at any club events.
Licencing
In order to participate in any type of racing or practice day events, you must have a licence. National Competition licences are available via the Motorcycling Victoria website.
If you do not have a National Competition licence day licences are also available for purchase at our events. A non competitive licence is currently $22.00 and a competition licence is currently $44.00
Club Events
Our Club Days and Practice Days are generally held on a Sunday. Sometimes they are held on other days, to enable us to still hold regular club events.
Sign in is normally from 7.30 a.m. with Riders Briefing held at 8.30 and racing commencing immediately after that. Attendance at Riders Briefing is compulsary for all riders.
Flag Marshalls are an essential part of providing a safe riding environment. Therefore, if we do not have enough Flag Marshalls, the event may have to be cancelled.
Can you Help Us?
We are always looking for helpers at club events. There are a mountain of jobs that need to be done in order to make a club day or practice day possible. Some of these are:
- Sign-In
- Bin distribution and emptying at the end of the day
- Start Line
- Finish Line
- Flag Marshalls
- Lap Scorers
- Canteen Helpers
- Track Marshalls
- Track Waterers
- Sweep Riders
- Rubbish pickup
- etc etc
So as you can see, we would really appreciate your help. If you can help us out, even if it is just for a little amount of time, please let one of the committee members know.
