OK, changes to practice. Many riders have asked for more practice times on various days. We got together and nutted out what we feel is the fairest & safest way to proceed. Monza will never have an open key policy but this is as close as it gets. This will not affect casual users or scheduled practice days. This system is for people that want the track opened more often at different times. Here's how it works. To hold a practice you will need a level 1 official & have a Level 2 first aider as well. (Click here for the L1 official TEST here for LICENCE APPLICATION) All official courses are free & this is an Open book test so you will need a copy of the RULES or click HERE for more info. Downloading the rules is a good way to do it as you can use "Advanced Search" to find the answers. You don't need a working with children check to hold a practice. Up to seven riders (On the track) you can also be the level 2 first aid. This person can't ride. 8-12 riders you need a separate official & level 2 first aid. 13-20 riders you need another official (Two) & one L2 first aid and in the unlikely event you have 21-25 three officials but still only one L2. These numbers are for riders on the track. No actual limit to amount of riders wanting to practice. Again these officials & first aider can't ride unless relieved by another. Even better you could get your wife, partner etc. to do it if they also had L2 first aid no rider would have to miss out. The L2 first aid does not need to be a club member. The club will be running courses for people to get L2 first aid & the club will pay for it (Members or family members only. Must be on membership details). We need numbers for the course. April 29 & May 1st 6-9pm at the clubrooms. So if you & seven other club members all have your level 1 officials licence & you're all L2 first aiders you can open the track (Certain times & limits apply) all it means that one would have to sit out while the other seven were on the track. As soon as one rider comes in then the other can go out. If there are Juniors practicing normal practice rules apply (ie no Juniors & Seniors on the track together etc.) but the parents of these Juniors can also oversee the Seniors as well (And vice versa), thus no riders would miss out. There are certain prerequisites to be met. First of all & most important is that you have to be a financial Rovers member. (Penalties apply to non members & to the Official who lets a non member ride.) You must be prepaid for practice ($75) & have at least a rec licence. There will be keys kept at Polso's shop (Raceline Motorcycles 6b Shepperd St (03) 5332 7230) & there will be a sign out sheet for the key & a register of those who have paid the levy. A $50 deposit MUST be paid to get a key & obviously when the key is returned so will your deposit. There will be a sign in book & indemity forms in the first aid hut & another register with all members in it. ALL riders, officials & first aiders must sign in & sign indemnities. If someone turns up to ride but cannot verify membership & levy then they can't ride. There will be no renewing memberships, sign ups etc. so no taking of money required. The key will open the main gate & first aid hut only, there will be a key to the toilets too. There will be water in the tanks up on the hill if you wish to water the track. No need to run the pump, gravity fed. You need to give enough warning so a text will be sent out to notify that the track will be open (Only to those who meet the requirements & want it) or ring Polso to see if someone already there. Be aware that this is his business number so keep it brief.
Main points

NO CHANGES TO SCHEDULED PRACTICE DAYS! Just hope to have more of them! So nothing changes to casual practice users.  

 You will need at least a level one official (Can get wife, partner etc. to do it as well,) prepaid practice levy & a rec licence or better.

You need at least one L2 first aider who does not have to be a member.

If you are the official/first aider you can't ride till relieved by another

BRMCC financial & life members only.

Track is closed on Tuesdays, Thursdays (As per normal rules) but also Mondays that follow a scheduled Sunday practice or event. Other days the track can be openned 9am till 6pm EST or 7pm Daylight saving time. Would prefer 10am or later but certainly not before 9am. (Special "One Offs" days maybe allowed by executive decision)

Limit to the track being open for ANY event is twice a week. (Special "One Offs" maybe allowed by executive decision) (We need to think of our neighbours)

Must sign for key & leave $50 deposit

Everyone must fill out sign in book & indemnities in the first aid hut

There will be teething problems and other issue to start with of course but all in all it's not hard & would expect everyone is up to speed quickly. It will be reviewed at the end of the year, or sooner if need be, to see what changes are needed or if indeed it is to continue. The system is NOT up & running yet. So pay up your practice levy & make sure you have a licence so we hit the ground running. If you need to talk more about this you can ring me AH 0427334186 Perko.
