What a fantastic day today! Great to see such health amongst grass root participation and so many clubman riders. Thank you to all observers, section setter, volunteers and everyone who pitched in.
I wanted to get these out quickly; so here is just the results for the round. I’ll sort out the Series Points table in the next few days so check back here in a couple of days or keep your eye on the Oakleigh Motorcycle Club website & Facebook page when they are released.
The big news this year is the formation of an AMA winter series between STR & OMCC and also an AMA Vic Titles at a brand new property in Scarsdale.
We are also working on an exciting two day event in August that will be at a brand new property for most of you. There will be updates in V2 of the calendar once we have more certainty around it.
Check out the combined OMCC & STR 2021 calendar here:
Hope you all had a great Xmas and a happy new year. Just a quick update for Round 2 of the OMCC Summer Series. We have 3 first time riders at this event already, that’s on top of the 10 from the last trial! The grounds are in perfect condition and recent rains have helped settle the dust.
Weather update:
The trials gods have blessed us again!
Forecast is for 21 and partly cloudy…so no excuses!
Entries close:
Thursday 14th giving us a day to get things organised.
Spectators are welcome!
Please tell your friends to come down and enjoy a great chance to see our sport.
Calling for observers:
If you free, please get in touch with David Grice (secretary@oakleighmcc.com) and we would love to have you down.
We will train you…you need not have experience and you will be close to the action!
We’ve also been informed that the following dealers will have bike on display & for demonstration:
Entries for Round 2 of the Summer Twilight Series is now open!
Round 1 was a great success if the attendance and feedback was anything to go by.
There were some tweaks to make with regards to the observing which we will look to address in Rd 2.
Also, we have had to move the Trophy Presentation day to Sunday 14th March (was the 7th) to avoid conflicts with the Tassie Titles.
As part of COVID adjustments we are only accepting online entries, and are strictly closing the Thursday prior (11:59pm Thursday 14th).
If we get a fireban or extreme heat and the event is cancelled, entrance fees willl be refunded.
Self scruitineering forms will be required, but these will be issued to registered entrants on Friday 18th.
OMCC Members are strongly encouraged to come down and support the club, and we would love to see non OMCC riders as long as you hold an AMA membership.
Well what a day it was Saturday…weather was great and everyone looked like they were having a good time. Well done to all who participated in the trial, and to the 10 riders in the end who were doing their first trial. We have 5 people put their hand up to observe which really helped us out…some of them were not even club members which is really nice. There were some areas to improve regarding the observing roster which we will look to implement next time, but other than that it seemed to be going well. Hope to see you all at the next round, either riding or supporting the event however you are able. Photos from the event will be shared shortly.
Acting on the feedback from the recent membership survey, the club has created a WhatsApp group to help you keep in touch with what is happening at the club.
We know you have missed us, and we have missed you. To make up for lost time we are attempting the ambitious task of a 4 rounds summer series (subject to extreme heat and fire bans).
If the AFL can host a GF in Brisbane, why not host a trial on a Saturday afternoon/evening?
This leave OMCC club grounds free for our usual Sunday riders and also Saturday mornings free for errands.
To entice you all a BBQ meal will be provided as part of your entry.
Covid adjustments will be in place, hence the online entries only.
OMCC Members are strongly encouraged to come down and support the club, and we would love to see non OMCC riders as long as you hold an AMA membership.
Entries available soon via trials.com.au but please lock these dates in your calendar now.
