Next General Meeting: Tuesday 4th June 2013, 7:30pm at the track.

A position is available for a weekend Track Marshall. Please contact the President on 0438-301685 for details.

The Committee are asking for volunteers to reform the Race Committee. The basic part of the Race Committee is to set up before and pack up following a race meeting. The total time required is approximately a half an hour in the morning and afternoon. Once the new Race Committee feel comfortable with these duties the roles will be expanded.

The Committee are asking for experienced club members to sign up for the "Mentor List". The "Mentor List" will have experienced people who are willing to have their contact details given to new members/karters who require assistance whilst starting out. The "Mentor List" was initially started in 2010 but the list only received a few volunteers which made it difficult on those volunteers as they were always being called upon. Please contact the club landline Thursday to Sunday if you would like to help new members/karters supplying your name, contact phone number, class you would like to assist and whether the assistance can be given on practice and/or race days.
