Under 19's

The club has commenced an Under 19 class. If you know of anyone that is Under 19 and wants to ride please let them know. This is a trial so lets get new members and make it work.

NO Guests, Please!

Would everyone please note the following; It is NOT PERMISSIBLE for members to take non-members to the track to practice. People using the track must be WAJMCC members. The only exception is for an organised come-n-try session with one of the appointed come-n-try officers. Members found disobeying this rule place their own status as members in jeopardy.

Flaggies are NOT Optional!

Just a reminder to ALL riders that they MUST supply a flag marshall for either the morning or afternoon session at all club events. If your parents are unable to assist because they have other kids to look after, then it is up to you to organise a friend or relative to be your flaggie. Riders who refuse to provide a flaggie will simply not be permitted to ride.

Only members who volunteer in another official capacity, or assist in the canteen, are exempt from flag marshal duty.

RISK MANAGEMENT

WAJMCC is committed to the promotion of safe participation in motorcycle sport and as such has adopted this risk management plan.

The protection of our sport will be best achieved by a uniform approach to the management of risk. We recognise that our members take a responsible and safe approach to motocross, and this policy is aimed at documenting risk management practices and procedures for our club members to follow.

To attain a uniform approach to risk management requires all members to adopt this policy and follow it strictly. It should be remembered that the administration of this policy is with the aim of reducing the risk of injury, and it is only a consequence of that positive effect that other flow on effects such as minimizing exposure to liability, and reduced insurance premiums may follow.
