Due to torrential rain the Western Region round for Ararat this Sunday has been postponed to October the 10th. This was to be Portland's 2 day Western Region round at Warrnambool, this has been transferred to November 13 & 14. This however will be a sad event as I have it from a "reliable source" that Portland not only wont be urgrading their track to hold Western Region events but instead they have lost it and as a consequence have decided to disband after the November meet. I hope my source is wrong & I'll gladly appologise & retract this statement if someone can please prove me wrong. It's bad enough that the Victorian government/local councils are SEEN to be wanting the demise of motor sports in this state by locking up virtually all land to Pony Xress/Enduro, 4 wheel drivers etc. and our own governing body MA/MV dont seem to have any pull, but loose a track & a club in one foul swoop is intollerable. My opinoin anyway.

Our next Tri Club Day against Sporting & Colac was to be this Sunday at Barrabool. It has had to be moved to September 19th at Barrabool's request. Also there was confusion about sign in & scrutineering times at Colac, I will endevour to make sure that it doesn't happen this time. I will be going out to Monza to do an inspection to see if it is possible to run a practice day this weekend. Members will be advised by SMS & web update.

The Club has seen 3 members pass away in recent times and 4 for this year. Earlier this year Steve Smith, life member & great character, died unexpectedly whilst away doing his new love, racing pushbikes. He passed in his sleep. More recently a terrible accident took the life of Tom Walton. Tom was only 20 and whilst the loss of life is always tragic it is even more so when taken so young with his whole life ahead of him. Then there was Nick Marios, a man that was larger than life who also died suddenly. Nick was a past president of the Rovers and when not president he was both canteen & bar manager for many years. And just last week Franz Van der Bom finally lost his battle with Motor Neurone disease. As Shirley, his wife, recently said "He would go when he was ready", I guess he was. Franz will be remembered as one of this clubs great Presidents, a hard and diligent worker, shrewd but fair business man but most of all as a man who loved the Rovers, second only to his loving family. Franz was also a life member of the club. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to all the families. Franz's funeral will be at Tobin's Doveton Park followed by refreshments at the Midlands Golf Club.

"This just in from MV"
JUNIOR TITLES ANNOUNCEMENT
While the preference was to go back to Broadford, unfortunately we have been unable to
find a replacement date that will allow for a re-run of the junior titles at Broadford.
However we like to thank the management and staff at Broadford for their time and
effort in giving us a great track for the second round.
We thank you for your comments on the facility and have taken all into consideration.
Not all can be achieved at once but the facility will be improved off the track over
time for all.
As we move forward to the re running of the event, Motorcross Management would like to
advise that the replacement for the postponed round 2 will now be held Wonthaggi on the
28th and 29th August. The venues that had shown interest last year were all considered.
We are confident that the Dandenong MCC will put on a great event, no matter what the
weather (sandy soil and no hills).
All entries and entry payments from Round 2 have been transferred to the re run of
Round 2 at Wonthaggi. However if you wish to enter for this round please forward an
entry by 20th August as this will be the closing date for this round. (entries will be
available on the MV website)
This does unfortunately affect the presentation Dinner Date and this will now be held
September 11th. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause any rider or Club.
If you have any questions please email them to victitles@dcsi.net.au
We look forward to seeing you all there.
Regards
MX Management committee
Regards
Andrew Staff

Come and represent the club so we can have bragging rights over the other 2. We owe Colac a whipping after last Sunday. The locals really showed us how to ride their track at the Western Region. We had a few riders do well though. (Report another day) As usual you will be expected to provide someone 16yo or over to do flag duty. Still come if you cant provide someone but tell them at sign in so we can find a replacement for you, dont just ignore the calls for volunteers holding up everything. Not financial? You can renew your membership on the day. Not a Rovers member? You can join on the day & ride this event but will have to be officially welcomed into the club one Thursday night before you can ride another Rover's event. Go to the Membership page for more details.

The hills round Mt Helen and Buninyong reverberated with the sound of nearly 400 MX bikes at Monza last the weekend. The Rovers hosted the first round of the four round Junior Motocross Victorian Titles. Thoughts of a wet weekend quickly disappeared once the riders hit the perfectly prepared track early Saturday morning to start two days of excellent racing. The track enjoyed the rain but it made parking difficult in places. Even so, all competitors managed to setup along with hundreds of spectators who came to see the best Juniors race from as far away as Sydney, Adelaide and Tasmania. Racing was so close that in that in the B grade 85cc race the top 3 riders all tied on 67 points with the win going to Traralgon rider Ryan O'Donohue on a count back. Whilst the club was well represented by local members there were high expectations for current A grade 85cc Australian champion Joel Milesevic in his new class, the A grade 100cc to 150cc 2 strokes. His first race was very good with him finishing second to the rampaging Dylan Long from Albury Wodonga but bad starts and being caught up in a six bike pile up saw him having to fight through the 39 bike field in his 2nd and 3rd races for a 7th & a 5th respectively. He managed a 4th overall, only missing 3rd by 2 points. Sam Wanke, C grade 250cc 4 stroke, also started well with a 3rd in his first race but hot competition saw him finish down the order in his 2nd & 3rd races but finished a commendable 4th overall with Dominic Stapleton finishing in the top 10. The ride of the weekend however has to go to Daryl Perkins in the C grade 100cc to 150cc 2 stroke class. Daryl got off to a solid start in his first race taking the lead on lap three and riding a near perfect race to hold off a determined Max Thompson from Central Victoria and take the win with Jack Powell, in only his second season, finishing 9th. It seemed as if Daryl had written the script for the weekend himself which saw him take the holeshot in his 2nd race. It all came undone though when he fell just after being passed on lap one. He got back on to fight back to finish 5th. Unfortunately it got worse in his 3rd race where 2 falls and bike problems saw him take 6th but the good news for Daryl and the Rovers was it was enough for him to get 3rd overall, 3 points off second, and give Daryl his first title podium finish and the Rovers only one for weekend. Other Rovers riders were Ridge Humphries, Todd and Kyle Chandler, Cooper Francis, Lochie McNamara and Nathan Kleinsman. Joel’s sister Emma was the only girl to represent the club and was competitive in the A Grade 85cc class. An event like this just doesn’t happen, lots of improvements over the decades have gone into Monza to get it to where it is today. For many of those years Ballarat Earthworks has been a major supporter of the club and whilst all credit goes to the club and its many volunteers one person deserves a special mention. The club president Brett "Jacko" Jackson has spent literally thousands of hours over the last 12 months modifying the track and building the new spectator area. He took the last week off out of his already busy work life to make sure everything was perfect at Monza and his efforts paid off in spades. All riders and officials were full of praise for the track and the running of the weekend. Rob Mestron from MV went on to say that "It was the best Vic Title he had ever attended and the club had set the benchmark that all other clubs will now have to strive for". The next round is at Broadford followed by Swan hill and Newborough. Well done all, we can be very proud of ourselves.

The Ballarat Rovers is in mourning from the shock news that Steve Smith has passed away in his sleep at the weekend. True to his nature he was on ?The Great Victorian Bike Ride? at the time and had recently completed the Kakoda Trail. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Hilda, his two sons Craig & Mark, family and friends. Steve and Hilda had another son, Ian, who was tragically taken from them whilst still only a teenager in an accident at Monza. A permanent memorial garden was setup for Ian at the top of Power Hill, such was the family?s love for their son and their sport. When Steve was still racing, on his beloved Wasp sidecar, he would not only compete locally and interstate but also competed internationally. He represented not only Australia and his club but, first and foremost, his family, of whom he loved very much and was extremely proud of. Steve was a man of his word and always promised that when he was finished racing he would devote his time to promote and grow the club. Steve built the finish line tower at Monza and held various positions in the club ultimately becoming president, which he did with pride and gusto, and a life member. Two mantels he held very dear to him. Steve started SS Electrics, an electrical business that quickly became highly regarded and trusted just like the man himself. Steve was always quick to lend a hand or to offer some cheerful advice and he will be sadly missed by all. At this point the funeral details have not been confirmed so look in the Ballarat Courier for more details. RIP Steve.

Jacko would like to invite Enduro, MotoX, Trials, Road Riders, Club Supporters, Life Members & Familys Thursday night 3rd Dec 7.30 for a bbq tea & xmas drinks.(Last Meet for year) The club would like to wish everybody a Merry Xmas, a safe, prosperous New Year and we hope to see you all, and some new faces, back next year. P.S. Santa's coming too.
30/11/2009
Presentation night was a gerat success, big thanks goes to Pauly Mac for doing most of the organizing. About 80 people attended and we had a good time. The AGM was last Thursday and Jacko has taken on the President's job for another year (Good to see). Matty has stepped down as treasurer but will remain as assistant to the new comer Lance Powell & Sue has handed the secretary's reins back to John Raine who did the job for a fews years a while back. Big thanks to Matty & Sue. I will update the Official's list soon. We welcomed two more members to the Life Members Club in Mick Nash and Ian Stacey. Two more deserved members you would not come across. Both have done an imeasurable amount work for the club over the years. Congradulation to them both. Some of the changes that were voted at the AGM were people will now be able to sign up at Rover events and the Membership year now runs from the 1st of March each year. All current financial members will be covered over the Xmas break till 1st of March 2010. This was bought about because the year is running longer & starting sooner and this change will mean members are fully covered by MA's insurance if practicing or competing at MA/MV permitted events during the clubs Xmas break (Dec-Feb). The new membership forms aren't posted yet, just got a few minor details to sort out. There has been a social membership introduced but is only available to people who have been financial members in the past. Also memberships have been split into Single/single rider membership which will apply to a single, couple or family where only one person is competing/practicing and a Family mebership which will apply to a couple or family where two or more people are competing/practicing. Along with these changes has come a slight fee increase. This is the first one in quite some time and has been brought about by a sharp increase in our day to day running costs but if you compare what our club offers and the cost of our membership to other clubs you will see that we still offer great value for money. More info in detail when I update the membership page. Finally, unfortunately for the club and its members, land for Enduros/PonyX is getting harder to find thanks to the Governments rezoning of all rural properties. Actually it's not finding the land, it's getting a permit, which is mandatory for an MV permit, from the councils. That's why there were only 2 events this year. Simon has decided to step down for a well deserved rest and the club thanks him and his family, as well as all the helpers, for all their hard work for the year. No one was more disappointed than Simon with the way the year turned out. Simon will be still helping in the background and we thank him for that. With that we would like to welcome back Darren O'Hagan to the head role with Rod Sizeland as his assistant. Even though these two are on the sheets as delegates there will be a band of four people actually doing the work. We all need to push the Vic government to alter the laws regarding permits for land otherwise the sport could die. We have 2 magnificent properties offered to us but the councils involved wont grant a permit for either. Just to finish up, the membership page will be down while I upgrade it. The club would like to wish everybody a Merry Xmas, a safe, prosperous New Year and we hope to see you all, and some new faces, back next year. We have high expectations for the year ahead in all aspects of our sport. We have already secured some big events for Monza. Calendar out soon.

We held the 3rd round of the Vic Seniors at Monza Saturday & Sunday. Open, Women & U19 on the Saturday then the lites on Sunday with some excellent racing both days. Reports differed as to which day the track was better but most agreed Sunday was tops with one going so far it was good enough to hold a National round. It was all due to the hard work of all the volunteers but none more so than Jacko who has spent an incredible amount of time and effort to get the track up in time. By all reports he done good. "Jack the Ripper" may have just redeemed himself. The racing was great and I'll get a proper report ASAP but for now Click here for some photos

We will be asking whether you want other SMS's relating to Pony Xpress events, social nights etc. Reply if you do, DO NOT REPLY if you don't. At any stage you can request to added or withdrawn from various SMS groups. Next years membership form will have a series of checkboxes allowing you to pick which SMS you do or don't receive. Important information such as AGM's etc. will still be sent to everyone but this will cut down on people receiving unwanted texts. We will start to make use of other means such as email which costs virtually nothing so it is very important we get everyone's email address. We recently asked you to send in your email address's, very few responded. We would encourage everyone to lodge their emails with us to help us keep you informed. Stay tuned for more.

Saturday the track was unbelievable. Sunday, "Old Mother Nature" kicked us where hurts, big time. I don't have a review as such but there was some very good racing, with a few offs and only one minor injury on the Saturday. Sunday........what can I say? The heavens opened up overnight and ruined, what was from all reports, a very fast & AWESOME track. We tried sending just the seniors and junior lites out to see if some lines could be cut but to no avail. Most handled the first few laps from fast to ok but the weight of the mud and fitness took its toll on virtually everyone so it was called after round three. At least we got in one good day, down Gympie way they weren't so lucky. Here's hoping for a kinder weekend for the Vic Seniors. Entry forms are on MV's website. I'll put in a link later.
6/07/2009
Its on again Oct 24th & we're running a bus. Tickets are $69 for adults & $45 for kids. Bus will be about $10 per head. More info later.

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.

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.

It's finally here, the Pony Xpress is about to leave the station. Round 1 will be at Avoca May 31st. Helpers will be needed to set up the track etc. Click here for entry form.

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.

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!

To practice at Monza
You must be a financial member of a MV/MA
affiliated club and have at least a rec licence (One day rec licences are available on the
day). Rover members & clubs with reciprocal rights pay $15 per practice other
MA/MV
club members $25. BRMCC members can also opt to pay $75 for the year. Proof of
various memberships and licences of ALL those wanting to practice
will be asked for by the VOLUNTEER running practice. By now
everyone should know the rules and abuse of volunteers will not be tolerated. If
you need to renew your membership, if prearranged, it can be done on the day.
SMS Notification.
I will be scraping the current SMS list and only sending to those who are financial, or life members who ask to be on the list.
Also I will be starting up a email list for updates. So when you fill in your membership form be sure to put in a mobile number & email
address. Members wishing to receive SMS notification for upcoming events who
aren't on the list please send an email with your name and number
to Neale
Perkins or SMS me on 0427 334186
Remember to send your name.
It created a lot of talk amongst fellow Ralliers but next year we will get in
early with our date. Winners and sponsor will be on as soon as I get them.
