Perth Mountain Bike Club

The Goat Farm Mountain Bike Park is a very well used facility with little or no maintenance.

We are setting up a "Friends of the Goat Farm" working group to do small busy bees a few times through the year

This group will be broken into 2 or 3 divisions XC, DH and 4X

We need expressions of interest in people willing to take this job on. We need team leaders and volunteers to do this work. It is also worth mentioning that DEC reward those that do volunteer work in the form of a National Parks Pass if you have 50 hours volunteer work in 12 months (I think)

Not only will this group provide well needed and overdue maintenance, but will also show DEC that mountain bikers are willing to put something back into the sport.

This is really important guys, if we don't put something back into maintenance on Legal trails, it is unlikely DEC will co-operate with the clubs and WAMBA to legalize the illegal trails.

Yes, Yes, Yes that's right, the website is getting an update. (being planned and put together now)

get ready for;

Some color
Some photos
Easier navigation
More information
Quokka Ads gone from the front page (have to click on classified's to get to the ads so everyone's ad can be seen, not just the ones on the front page)

5/3/10 = Sorry everyone who has not entered, the skills clinic is now full (56 participants, target was 50)
This will give small groups of participants per skills instructor, so that the participants get more out of the course.

Further courses may be run later in the year, depending on the damand.

NEW = Ian Wee, from "Perth Integrated Health Clinics" = PHIC is kindly donating 50 vouchers for a free screening check at his clinics (worth $50 each). He is also donating 3 x $100 vouchers for bike set up ergonomic assessments. PHIC are very passionate about cycling and do a massive amount for the sport.

Tim Bennett from Kalamunda Cycles is also onboard and will be taking the group "Turning Pro Next Week" for a flying skills lap around Jarrahdale.........................................Look out!!!!!

Origonal = Date: Sunday 14 March 8am to 1pm = Langford Park, Jarrahdale

Please Read the attached Notice for the upcoming Annual general Meeting for PMBC and WAMBA on Tuesday second of February 2010.

These will be run as 2 separate AGM’s quickly and consecutively on the same night at the same venue.

Presentations for the 2009 XC State series will also be held on the same night.

See you there!!!!

Bron Comment: National Rounds are coming up this summer, why not put in for a $500 grant to help cover your cost of getting over East to compete. http://www.ausport.gov.au/champions

---

Young coaches and officials can now apply for their share of the Australian Sports Commission’s annual $1.6 million Local Sporting Champions grants — an Australian Government initiative to support junior sport.

Previously only available to young athletes, the Local Sporting Champions grants eligibility criteria has been broadened to recognise the importance of supporting young coaches and officials — crucial to Australia’s sporting grass roots.

‘Sporting competitions and achievements would not be possible without our young coaches and officials and these grants are one way the Australian Sports Commission is recognising their commitment and dedication to their chosen sporting field,’ said Judy Flanagan, ASC Director of Community Sport.

Tis the end of the XC/DH racing year! Bring your family along to Kings Park for a picnic and presentations.
December 6th, 2009 @ 11:30am
