                           Because of the recent bad weather we have had no choice but to cancel our meeting this weekend.

                           We have now swapped our meeting with Warsop, so this weekends meeting will be at Carter Hill. If you had entered

                           for the Derby Sporting meeting at Alport Heights your entry will automatically be transfered to Warsop.

                           The AMCA will be sending out letters to explain the change.

                           If you would like a late entry for the Warsop meeting please ring Yvonne Wilkinson 07790 739101

                           We will be running our 4th meeting for the year on 26th October instead taking the original Warsop date listed

                            on the fixture list.

 

                          Monday, 07 July, 2008

                          Just a reminder that it is our meeting this Sunday (13th July) and that ALL members are required to attend the work

                          party on Saturday morning starting at 9-30am and that you are required to either marshall or provide a marshall for

                          the racing on Sunday. ANY MEMBERS who do not attend without giving good reason before the meeting will

                          receive a ban.

                          Despite any rumours that have been circulating our meeting is DEFINATELY running, on the same day as the Ollerton

                          AMCA Championship meeting.

                           We have made arrangements and sorted our own Toilets, Catering, and First Aid. Everything is going to plan and the

                           meeting will be running.

                           We have also made some more alterations to the track that make it a bit longer.

                         

                          Tuesday, 26 February, 2008

                           The club AGM is Tonight (Tuesday 26th) and will be starting at 8-30pm. There will be sandwiches and chips

                           provided from 8pm. All members who have joined for the 2008 season are expected to attend.

                           The regs that are closing for tonight is the Lincoln meeting at Wigsley on 16th March.

                         

                           Ref. March 9th:

                           Warsop will be running a Track test day at Carter Hillon the 9th March as a replacement to our meeting

                           that we have moved.

                           It will be run under the AMCA, standing regulations No. SR39

                           You will need a Valid AMCA licence which MUST be produced when signing on.

                           The fees will be     A Licence  £18        B Licence   £23      Day Licence  £29

                           Day licences may also be available for Non AMCA members at the discretion of the club. These will only be

                           available to riders over 18 years old (on the day) and you must provide some sort of ID (photo driving licence etc)

                                                     They may also be available for under 18 year olds but these must be applied for through the AMCA office beforehand.

 

                                                     The event will start at approximately 9-30am and will probably be run in the usual AMCA classes (inter Juniors, Juniors,

                                                     Seniors and experts) but this will depend on the numbers during the day.

                                                     They will have full first aid cover and also the catering van.

         

 

                          Tuesday, 19 February, 2008

                            We have been checking our track out in readyiness for our first meeting in March, unfortunately

                            after several inspections over the last week or so we have taken the decision to cancel the meeting

                            on the 9th March and we will re-arrange it for the 13th July.

                            We now have 57 members signed up to join the club so if there is anyone who was hoping to join for

                            this year there are still a couple of places available.

                       

                          Wednesday, 06 February, 2008

                            There have been 49 of last years members re-joined the club for this year and 7 new members have joined

                            as well. There are still 4 places available which are open to new members.

                            If there are any of the Expert riders in the club who wish to put their names forward for the AMCA championship

                            quailifiers please let me know ASAP as I will need the names for next week.

                             Happy New Year to everyone

                             Welcome to the new look web site.  Club nights will start again for this year next Tuesday (15th) at 8-00pm

                             at Haslams. I have the licence forms for this year and they will be available for all 2007 members who wish to

                             re-new their club membership for 2008 from Tuesday 15th January. There are already 6 people on the waiting

                             to join the club this year and so I am allowing existing members 3 weeks to re-new their membership before

                             offering any available places to new members. If you don't renew your membership by Tuesday 29th January

                             then i can't guarantee you a licence.

 

                             There have been some changes to the rules over the winter break the main change that may affect some younger

                              riders is the age for inter juniors has been altered to 11 to 14 year olds and they have now banned the use of

                              65cc bikes. Anyone now wishing to ride in the AMCA must have an 85cc bike.
