Dear Members

Well its that time again… Things have quietened down enough to put pen to paper and produce a newsletter.

Firstly on the Moto-cross front. The small but tireless team on the committee had a very busy couple of months in preparing and running the 2 day Open, one week later Round 3 of the Victorian Senior Titles, and the following week a round of the Viper series.

A lot of hard work in track preparation, canteen management, a hell of a lot of administrative work and running the events on the day was daunting - but with help from a lot of club members it all came together very successfully.

PRACTICE DAYS

Practice days at Monza Park are becoming regular with Matt Owen and Scott Foy getting the system running smoothly. For information on practice days, ring Scott on 0409 190782 or Matt on 0409 388116.

CLUB DAYS

Club days at Monza are up and running with a very good list of entries and some great racing so if you have a bike come out and have a go. We can make up classes to suit everybody including Enduro’s. Even old blokes, and there are a few of them having a go….

PONY EXPRESS

The Pony Express series has started with Round 1 held at Mt Bolton, with another great event staged at the usual high standard. This event is put on by a small team that needs as much help as it can get. Remember these events are put on by club members for clubmembers - and quite often they can’t even ride their own event. So if these guys don’t get the help they deserve, who knows, the series may not continue much longer. The ball is in YOUR COURT. Please make it happen!

DINNER DANCE – September 23rd

September 23rd has been set aside for the Ballarat Rovers Dinner Dance to be held at Midlands Golf Club featuring the Shy Boys and a 3 course meal for $35 per head. It will be a great night so ring Ian Stacey on 0439 388581 to make a booking.

ENDURO

The Enduro Committee hosted Round 1 of the Victorian ENDURO Series earlier this year and it was so well set up that they set a new precedent of excellence for other clubs to follow. Congratulations guys. Very well done.
