Greetings all,

I hope everyone is having a safe, fun filled school holidays! Just a reminder about a few points leading into term 3 racing (still Sunday mornings).

1. Please check you transponder is still active – bounce the front wheel on the ground a few time and then look at the little “Y” symbol in the word MyLaps on the front, once every 2 mins or so it will flash. If you see 2 green flashes all is good, if you see are red contact me for help if you are not sure how to renew.
2. Don’t forget we can now add sponsors next to your child’s name, again just let me know if this is something you want to do.
3. We will be introducing a girls only Open A & B, same as the boys – B will be div 4-7, A will be 8-9. We have also added div 7 so if you wish for your child to ride in any of these classes be sure to let us know at registrations.
4. 25/26th is of course coaching clinics with Jade McPherson, if you haven’t got your child’s name down please do so ASAP so we can finalise the lists. Email your child’s name to ednbeck@westnet.com.au We will of course TRY to accommodate requests to certain times but please be aware we will not be able to meet everyone’s individual needs. Also if we can get a few helpers we will open the canteen for drinks and lollies etc whilst coaching is on.
5. Sat 25th is also the day our friends from Boord Constructions will be working on the new mini wheelers track. If you are free for a few hours or even just while your child in in coaching it will be greatly appreciated. We have a couple a scrap steel skip bins coming so we can clean up the area behind where the mini wheelers track is being constructed. Can I also please remind parents to make sure your siblings STAY AWAY from this area, we will have flags across from the sea container to the toilets as a reminder.
6. Club jerseys and polos – We still have limited stock so if you would like to purchase be sure to ask at the canteen. $50 for a race jersey & $40 for polo.
7. Don’t forget if you help out at the club in anyway can you please sign up with BMXA as a club volunteer, it’s the same process as when you register your child but select volunteer – there is no fee.
8. You will no doubt notice all the sponsors signs and been taken down from those who no longer wish to support our amazing club. If you wish to take up one of these spots – $250+GST (and you supply the sign).
9. We try our best to communicate through as many platforms as possible as we know not everyone is on Facebook or has a smartphone. For those people global emails and newsletters hopefully help. For those that do have smartphones however don’t forget we have a Facebook page plus a Facebook group, be sure to like us on both! We also use “team App” which is available form your app store, once installed just search EGBMX and join. be sure to allow push notifications including in the chat rooms.
10. On the subject of technology we also have the club passport app which allows us as a club to reward YOU for your help in volunteering. Even if you don’t wish to collect the rewards there is an option to donate them back to the club to be used on future projects. These funds are don’t to us from CDF, if we don’t use them we loose them so be sure to join up ;) You may also be eligible to have you annual subscription fees covered through the govt program known as kidsport – search the dept of sport website for more details or ask you local school for further details.
11. Finally just a reminder the track is now monitored by 24/7 CCTV as part of our new security system. Please if you notice anything suspicious or any damage report it to a committee member ASAP so we can review the footage and forward to the police.

Regards,
Clint – President.
