Hi All,

****** FAMILY / SOCIAL RIDE WEEKEND*********

Want to get the family away for a ride weekend in January 2009 ?

When: Friday 16th - Sunday 18th January 2009 (Staying over Fri and Sat nights)
Where: 90 mins from Sydney TUGALONG Recreation Park (near Mittagong ) www.tugalong.com.au

• 5340 acres
• accommodation
• atv trails
• kids tracks
• camping & fishing
• moto tracks
• hill climbs
• enduro trails
Please let Jo know if you are interested by 21 November so we can get an idea on numbers and then advise re costs. Check out the website for more info about the property and then email me back. Shane & I will be there with our quads and Gem & Jake will be riding their MX bikes so it would be great to get some more friends and kids to join us.

Other news:
• We had a good turn out of quad riders to the Hunter MCC AGM last night which was great to see. Rob Booth, Shane Hardiman and Mick Roycroft have been nominated as the quad sub committee representatives.
• Their role will include liaising with the Hunter Club, rounding up volunteers to help with activities such as flag duties etc etc. So if you have any ideas or things to discuss let one of them know as these three keep in communication with one another on a regular basis. We will also keep our quad riders pizza nights going so we can keep the momentum up and get our East Coast Cup Series and other events off the ground in NSW.
• In case you haven't heard already we have had a win with MC NSW approving junior quad racing. Please be aware the matter is now with Dept of Sport and Rec for their consideration and approval. It has been requested that if we have any queries regarding progress of this matter please direct these to Glen Pickering of the Hunter MC Club rather than contacting MC NSW or Dept of Sport & Rec yourselves to avoid jeopardising the process with MC NSW or Dept of Sport and Rec as it is better to have one line of communication with them for their sake.
• We will re group in the new year once we have confirmation of dates for the series. We are looking at holding a NSW State Titles in conjunction with the Hunter Club probably in June 09 so we will need to get sponsors and volunteers on board and people to share their ideas on how we are going to run it and help out with this event.
As always let your friends know what's going on and invite them along in January.

we are planning on going out mid arvo setup, ride, drink water and then ride till we run out of fuel.

wakeup on sunday and do it all again.

if you want to come along let me know and i will keep you in the loop where we will be.

it would be good to meet and catch up with some people that are regulars at Stocko that we would normally just ride past each other.

Danny advised me camping is $15 per head per night and families are max $30 per night. There are showers and tolits near by.

The lodge accomodation is $80 per night which as self contained shower and tolit. The lodge accomodation is similar to semi motel style accomodation. You will need to bring your own linen or you can hire it for $10 per set.

Rnd 1 at Tamworth this weekend has been cancelled. At this stage Quirindi will be Rnd 1.

[Roycroft]

Hello to all
Unfortunately we have just been advised that Tamworth ( April 18th) and Quirindi ( May 24th) events have been cancelled. This is a set back for the ATV riders of NSW but please do not let this prevent us from moving forward. The first Hardiman Cup event will now be Barleigh Ranch June 14th.

The biggest problems that we as ATV riders are face with in the state of NSW is the lack of ride locations that allow Quads or even want Quads to use there venues. ATV riders of NSW need to work towards the ultimate goal of a stand along NSW ATV club that dose not rely on other clubs to hold our events. We need dedicated people that are willing to become trained up as M.A approved officials and we need to build up our numbers so that we can eventually hire tracks to run our events. All of this will take time and we need to keep moving forward and not let any setback take our attention away from this goal. With any luck we will hopefully have junior racing up and running for next year and this will help increase numbers and bring us closer to a NSW ATV Club.

Please spread the word to all your friends so that no one turns up to Tamworth and finds no one their.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
