New Changes and Information for Cairns Members

May 27th, 2010 leanne

SUNDAY RACING

Last Friday night a survey was conducted down at the track asking if everyone was in favour of keeping our trial Sunday afternoon racing. On counting the votes it showed that most members were in favour of racing Friday nights and not Sunday afternoon’s. This information was taken to the Committee meeting during the week and it was decided that we will NOT continue with the Sunday afternoon racing trial for the rest of the year at this stage.

However if racing is washed out due to weather on Friday night we will race Sunday afternoon. So you will need to check with the answering machine or on the website if Friday night is washed out to confirm racing times on a Sunday.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey and supported the trial Sunday racing period.

FRIDAY NIGHT PRACTISE

As you all know the club is getting larger by the week and the need to control warm up sessions prior to racing on a Friday night has become essential.  Therefore we need to introduce some times for riders on the track.

6.00pm to 6.30pm – ALL age riders & cruiser classes

6.30pm to 6.45pm – ALL Pro Riders

6.45pm to 7.00pm – ALL Sprockets

We need for everyone to be aware of these new times which will commence on Friday 4th June.

Also ensure you have nominated on time for your class.  You can nominate in person at the window from 5.30pm to 6.30pm or Phone nominations up until 6pm.

KEYS

If you hold a key to the track can you please see Emma with your key number as there is some new information that you need to receive

OR

If you no longer require your key could you please return it to Emma as we have a waiting list.

AUSSIES MEETING

The club is hosting their first National Titles meeting at the track from 10am on Sunday 6th June 2010.  This meeting is open to all members from the club to come down and see what is happening so far / what needs to happen and where you can maybe help and support this event. 

We will be having an open floor where we can throw around ideas and suggestions discussing track changes and ground facilities / food and beverage requirements / marketing and everything in between to pull off this massive event on our home track. 

We will be having a sausage sizzle and drinks for everyone so please come down and see what needs to be done and where you may be able to help or support. 

WANTED – NEWSLETTER EDITOR AND COMMENTATOR

We are currently in search of a newsletter editor and a commentator for Friday night racing.  Our newsletter is a once a month edition where updates of racing / stories from around the track / for sale & wanted section / Rider profiles etc.  It is a rewarding position as all the members love getting an update on what is happening.

We are chasing a commentator for our Friday night racing to make it even more exciting.  So if you think you might want to give this position a go please come and grab the microphone and see what it feels like.

4 SALE

The club has some secondhand 6 seater tables and chairs for sale at the moment for $150 a set.  We have 8 sets for sale and you can see one out the front of the office. If you are interested please see the girls in the office.
