After a long detailed examination of the track, much discussion with our track guy (President Jacko) and with the view of giving as much notice to all involved it was decided that the track would not be at its best for Sunday. This decision was not made lightly. We want the new track's first meeting to be a memorable one for all the right reasons. The last thing we wanted was people to come all this way and go away disappointed. Possible alternate dates are Oct 18 or Nov 1. Sorry for all those who made or changed plans for this weekend but we tried our best to make it happen, it just wasn't to be. Sorry.

Each meeting members that have done something to bring themselves to the attention of the club in a not so flattering way will be nominated as "Tool of the Week" At this stage I only have their photo but soon I will include the "Juice" behind their nomination. I'm missing the first two but be assured they will be included. Go to the menu at the side and down to the bottom.

We are STILL in need of a volunteer group or groups to be flag stewards for our 2 day Vic Senior MotoX titles June 6th & 7th. The group I had lined up unfortunately could not supply the numbers & have withdrawn. This is a great chance for a school auxiliary, sporting club, not for profit organization to make an easy $1000 and have a great weekend to boot. They would need to provide a minimum of 20 people over the age of 18. The group is paid $500 dollars per a day and the individuals get lunch and to watch some of the best MotoX racing you could hope to see. If a group can only muster 10 they could share with another group that can raise 10. Each receiving $250 per day. We need to know ASAP. If we cant find a group, or groups, willing to do this we will have to call upon our members to step up. More info ring Neale 0427334186.

The modifications made to the camping area and track are nothing short of spectacular. Jacko and his merry band of helpers are to be commended. We will be having working bees every weekend leading up to the event. The numbers we got Saturday were great but we still need more. I will add some photos soon. I also have photos from our "Come & Try Day" and the first "Club Day National". I have been waiting till our web site was transferred to a new host. Thanks goes to Stacey's mate Dan who owns Melbhosting.com.au. He has set us up with a site that hold 10 times the amount of data the old one did for less money. So now I can upload lots of pics. I will be asking for pics from different events, all types, to include on the web site. I will also kick of the "Buy, Swap & Sell" site now that we have the room. Watch this space

Jason Francis at Creswick Bridge Garage has come onboard and is offering 10% all car
services and repairs.
As before you must produce your 09 membership to get this great offer. Ring Jason 53452330.
If these schemes prove beneficial for the businesses that take part the discounts may well become
permanent so we need to support these businesses.
Please don't lend your card to non-members, this will be viewed as a breach of
our membership rules and dealt with accordingly. For this to work we must ensure
that it is not abused. I will update the web site as soon as I finalize a few
things and a text will be sent out at the start of each month and maybe a
fortnight later to inform you of what is on offer. I will send this to all
financial and life members unless asked not to do so. If you do not want to
receive texts about these promotions
click here to email me.
If there any businesses out there that want to be included in this please

I have approached some local businesses in the view of getting a
month where if members show their BRMCC membership card we will get extra
discounts. I'm sure this will be a "Win Win" for both. Increased patronage for the
business and obviously savings for members.
The 1st one is the Globe Hotel which for the month of April is offering a very good mix of 10% off ALL meals in your booking
and free soft dinks for kids having meals (Soft drinks cost almost as much as
beer). This means you can book a table of 20 or more and your one membership
card will get everyone in your group 10% off all meals and free soft drinks for the kids. You will need to present your card when you order & pay. But wait, is there
more you ask? There "certainly is Ollie". Present your card for 5% off
everything in the bottle shop. Booking is preferred but not essential. If you do book also mention you are with the club so they can make a note of it.
They have lunch every day 12 till 2 with bar meals starting from $9.00. Bistro 7 days a week with a great selection of meals.
Large car park for off street parking with direct entry to the Bistro. Pool table in the bar.
Well stocked bottle shop and for those who like a flutter they have the TAB.
So ring Frosty and the gang at the Globe Hotel (03 53358500) and enjoy the country style hospitality. They're on the corner of Skipton and
Rubicon St Sebastopol.
Just a reminder this does not kick off till April 1st
Jason Francis at Creswick Bridge Garage has come onboard and I will finalize his offer soon.

The first Club Day National for 2009 will start the way we finished with the highly successful twilight meet this SATURDAY 28/03/2009. Proof of your 2009 membership will be needed to ride and renewals will be taken on the day. ALL RIDERS MUST either provide someone for corner duty or, in the case of senior riders, do it themselves in between races. We will also needed plenty of helpers to share the workload throughout the day. Depending on the weather we may be watering Friday night & Saturday morning. I will send out a text if we are. As with last time there will be a free BBQ for all members afterwards. So come along and start the year with a great day.
24/03/2009
I will be finalizing the SMS list for 2009 at the end of this month. Only 2009 financial & life members will receive SMS messaging after that. So renew your membership ASAP

I have approached some local businesses in the view of getting a
month where if members show their BRMCC membership card we will get extra
discounts. I'm sure this will be a "Win Win" for both. Increased patronage for the
business and obviously savings for members. I hope to get many varied types of
businesses involved not just motorbike orientated. There will only be ONE type
of business offered, e.g. once we have a Motorbike shop on board I wont approach
another and they will have first rights next year.
Two that are already on board are McKnight's Retravision & the Globe Hotel.
Nothing is in concrete yet but Retravision look like offering 10% off any
ticketed or even sale price item. There is a form to fill out so they can send
you other promotional news but only from them, not to be "on sold" to other
companies. When you think about it why would they possibly give this information
to their competitors. I will have more info on that so you can make your own
decision and be assured NO MEMBER INFO will ever be released or sold to other
parties.
The Globe Hotel is offering a very good mix of 10% off ALL meals in your booking
and free soft dinks for kids having meals (Soft drinks cost almost as much as
beer). This means you can book a table of 20 or more and your one membership
card will get everyone 10% off and free drinks for the kids. But wait, is there
more you ask? There "certainly is Ollie". Present your card for 5% off
everything in the bottle shop. I hope to kick this one off next month.

Thanks to all that turned up and a very special thanks to all the Rovers members who turned up for both days to make such a great weekend. Sorry track time was so short. On the whole a good day was had by all. I will admit that things didn't go quite as smooth that we had hoped but we didn't expect the number of riders we got and something got lost in the translation. It was a "Come and Try" day/morning not a practice day. It is meant for people that have not gone round a MX track before to get them interested in the sport. We allowed everyone to ride but it was never an open slather event. There will be other practice days that you can ride all day and there will be more "Come & Try" days for newcomers. Anyhow we hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
16/02/2009
The Ballarat Rovers Motorcycle Club is having a "Come and Try Day", well morning really, at Monza Park Hiscock Gully Rd Buninyong. Everyone is welcome to come and ride our renowned natural terrain motocross track on their bike, under supervision. We are trying to bring the sport to everyone, promote safe riding and hopefully get some of the kids off the streets, out of the bush and ride responsibly. We are not just about MotoX, there's Trials, Road Racing & Touring, Enduro (Also known as Pony Express), Classic and Viper. Even if you don't want to ride come along and spend the day watching first timers ride around in the morning and Rovers members practice in the afternoon. We have a well stocked canteen which will be open all day with hot & cold drinks, hot & cold food and warm greetings. So come along and enjoy the day with us.

Hope everyone is well rested after the Xmas break and raring to go for another season. There are some new faces in key roles around the club, most notable is that of Brett (Jacko) Jackson is our new president. I would, on the behalf of all members, like to thank Mick (Nashy) Nash for the outstanding job he has done and will continue to do in his new role as media liaison. I would also like to thanks everyone else who held a role or just helped out in the past year. I will update the officials list ASAP but we have experience some major problems with our web site and this is the first time I have been able to access the site. Memberships are now due and must be current for practice. Look forward to seeing everyone again and to another great Rovers year.
27/10/2008
Well, it's that time of the year. The Last Club Day National for the year is upon us so we thought we would do something a little different so we are going to have a Twilight meet. Sign in will be at 1pm and racing about 2pm and should be finished about 5:30-6pm. There will be a BBQ for all after racing has finished. The track will be prepped Friday and/or Sat morning so we would appreciate as many early starters as possible to water and do a bit of a clean up around the place. There will be someone there from 10am onwards. We will also need lap scorers, canteen staff etc. and ALL riders must provide an adult volunteer for flag duty or in the case of Senior riders they can do it themselves in-between races.
On another issue there has been quite a lot of people sending in there licence application/renewals with a cheque attached expecting the club to forward it on for them. The secretary will stamp and sign completed licence forms but will send them back to the applicant to send to MV themselves. We will not send out blank forms stamped and signed as these could be used by non-members to get a licence if lost or stolen.
22/10/2008
All nominations for positions can be submitted on or after the 13th. To vote at the AGM you must have attended at least 10 general meetings during the year. The club is always looking for new blood and ideas to help run. It cant survive without the selfless work by these volunteers but it also cant keep falling onto the same old shoulders. If you reckon you're up to the challenge than step forward and take on one of the positions going.

Congats Simon, Chantelle & Dom plus all those who help to make this such a great event.
Much of the praise though has to go to Simon for a fantastic job. Simon was out
at Monza for over a week preparing the track, cleaning up & making sure
we retain the trophy for the best round of the year again. Without members like Simon, who go the extra mile, this would not be the great club it is.
It is efforts like his and others that makes the Rovers the envy of most
other clubs. Well done Simon & family. More to come soon.
16/08/2008
From all reports this was the best one yet and regarded as good , if not better, than any other.
Congrats to George & Billy and to all who helped. I will get a more detailed account soon

Brian Nunn and myself are now Level 1 coaches for Juniors. This means we can take Juniors for their compulsory 5 hours to renew their MA licence and kids just starting out (Kick Start Program). We will try and co-ordinate with practice days for the yearly 5 hour licence renewal requirement but we will arrange a separate day from time to time solely for coaching. All coaching and associated log book signing is FREE to all financial Rovers Members. If you need more info ring Dasher (Brian Nunn) 0407846254 or Neale 0427334186

The Club Nationals start this Sunday the 6th of April. There are 6 rounds at this stage, check Club Events for other dates. To race you must be a Financial Rovers Member, have a MA licence or buy a one dayer (5 Hour tuition applies for Juniors) on the day but if you are looking to do the full 6 it is cheaper to get a MA one. You can then do practice without having to buy a rec licence. Dates are on their respective pages and here's a full Race Calendar for the year, MX, Clubbies and Pony X.

Man what a weekend. Perfect weather, perfect track, perfect conditions, perfect
organization, perfect preparation & perfect catering. Now what's one word that
would describe this event?????? I've got it, AWESOME and I don't use that word
lightly (Just ask my kids) but, for once, it is the only word capable of
describing this weekend. As a club we did ourselves proud and as such one person
doesn't usually get singled out above all others but in this case much of the
credit has to go to Andrew Flood (Floody). I'm well aware he had help varying
from lots to a little (It all helps) but in all honesty it just wouldn't have
happen without him, at least to the high standard that this event reached. It is
rare that all you hear is praise but that's exactly what happened here. It's a
credit to the club and we can be proud of ourselves. As for the racing in was
incredible. I don't know the actual results but I do know that a few Rovers boys
trophied. If you didn't get out there YOU MISSED OUT BAD!
