sincere apologies for the lack up website updates. My wife Melissa (who is

helping her. Melissa and I have been in and out of several hospitals and seen
umpteen amount of specialists over the past few weeks to last us a life time. I
hope you all understand and I thank all those who have sent us their best wishes

OFFICIALS COURSES have been moved to YAMBA. The new date for the clerk of the course is SATURDAY 27th June and the general course is FRIDAY 26th JUNE . MNSW is trying for the bowling club but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. We have club members who have enrolled in these courses but for them to go ahead MNSW requires a MINIMUM of another 5 people for each course. If you are interested in attending please contact Janelle ASAP on 0429 047 309 or janelleandmick@bigpond.com 26th May, Kick Start Course (More Info) this Sunday 31st May. There are still places available so please contact Mark ASAP on 02 6646 1263 to make a booking.
OFFICIALS COURSES To hold an event in NSW, Motorcycling Australia (MA) requires 4 key officials to be present. They are Steward, Clerk of the Course, Race Secretary and Scrutineer. These key officials ensure that the event is run safely and according to the requirements of both MA and MNSW. The first step in becoming a key official is to attend a GENERAL SEMINAR. This gives a great insight into our sport and qualifies you to be a marshal, starter or timekeeper. Then to become a key official, you attend the seminar for the official you are interested in becoming and assist that official at a number of race meetings. It is not only a great way to support your club but a way to ensure that the sport continues to grow. Volunteers are the backbone of any club and are essential in running race meetings on tracks that are safe for our children (and us!) Officials are sometimes difficult to find and courses don’t come up very often on the North Coast. We are lucky to have 3 courses coming up in Ballina.
We have club members who have enrolled in these courses but for them to go ahead MNSW requires a MINIMUM of another 5 people for each course. If you are interested in attending please contact Janelle on 0429 047 309 or janelleandmick@bigpond.com Maclean Dirt Bike Club will, of course, pay travel costs and course fees.
