New Home for Summer Crits and AGM

This Sunday November 18th sees the return of the Summer Criterium Series. Due to issues with our old home at Smeaton Way, we’ve had to find a new course. You might have seen it already on the event listing, the club has been in negotiations with Perth Motorplex to hold our races in their car parks and access roads. This means we get to race on a closed-circuit, I think you will agree is much safer for everyone.

Have a look at the map on the location listing. I’ve had a chance to ride around it myself and the surface is smooth, with a couple of technical corners to keep you on your toes. We are also able to make use of the various car parks for warmup and cooldown laps, plus access to the toilet facilities. Come and see for yourself on Sunday, we’ll have a rider’s meeting at the end of events to gauge your feedback. The club has a tentative booking for 6 races here, whether we stay is going to rely on your feedback.

At the same time we will conduct the AGM, accepting nominations for committee positions and holding votes if the need arises. If you wish to nominate for a committee position but cannot make it on Sunday, be sure to let Club Secretary Andy Bennett know at andyben2@bigpond.com.
