Membership & MA Licensing

From 30 June 2026, our insurance policy will transition to the Motorcycling Victoria (MV) / Motorcycling Australia (MA) Annual Trials Permit model.

In addition to providing rider safety and personal accident coverage at MA-sanctioned events and practice days, this insurance arrangement provides the club with the flexibility to conduct an unlimited number of recreational riding events throughout the year. We will take full advantage of the permit and already, we have 3 club trials organised in the coming months. 🎯


As communicated in our previous newsletters, part of this transition includes a requirement for all riders to hold a Motorcycling Australia (MA) License. Your license must be in place and valid by 30 June `26.

To apply for an MA license, follow the instructions below.


Create a Ridernet profile here:
https://www.ridernet.com.au/

Email OMCC [email protected] and provide your:

– Ridernet ID (6 digit code)

– Date of birth

– Surname

We will add you as an OMCC member on the backend of the Ridernet system. You will get an email back saying “Club Registration Approved”.

IMPORTANT: ignore the part where it asks you to pay for membership. This is a default and we can’t change it.

You can then get your MA license now your profile is registered against a MV affiliated club. For trials, if that is all you are doing, you will need a Senior Restricted License (Adults) or Junior Restricted License (Up to 16 Yrs).

In the Ridernet system look for your name on the top right, and:

– Select My Profile

– Select Licenses

– Add a License

– Riding License

And choose the license appropriate to you and follow the rest of the steps.

Please use the secretary email address if you have any queries – [email protected]

Officials Training – Expression of Interest

Many thanks to all our wonderful members who have expressed interest in undertaking training as MV officials.  We had a good response and are now looking for a few more! 😊

We are lucky to have the grounds at OMCC and plan to use them to their full potential by running more events & competitions for everyone to enjoy. This is only possible with a well-trained team of officials, and we are now seeking expressions of interest to become a Level 2 official. 

The training pathway is pretty streamlined, there will be plenty of support from our resident expert, Steve Carter (thanks Steve 😊) it involves a Level 1, Operational Course which is then followed by shadowing an official and being signed off at one of our events. OMCC will be holding some club trials over May, June and July specifically designed to ease all the trainees through to Level 2 – exciting times, watch this space! 🎯

We aim to have twelve to eighteen more officials at the club within the next six months, please jump on board, it is a rewarding process which opens up opportunities for more competitions in Victoria and it supports your sport. 🫵🏻

Please register your interest to – [email protected]

Many thanks

AGM, Membership Renewals & Free Merchandise!

Hi OMCC Members,

On behalf of our new committee I would like to extend a massive thank you to our outgoing committee members Chris Grubb & Janina Gorski. As a volunteer run club we are always grateful for people to step up and help like Chris & Janina have done.

Even though no longer on the committee, Janina will keep doing the kitchen supply management which is a big help.

The AGM meeting went smoothly and new committee is as follows:

  • President: Peter Spencer
  • Vice President: Steve Carter
  • Treasurer: Matt Kerr
  • Secretary: David Grice
  • Grounds Keeper: John Wilson
  • Assistant Grounds Keeper: Craig Genner
  • Communications Officer: Rebecca Gigliotti
  • General Committee: Stan Mularczyk
  • General Committee: Carlos Swinton-Lee
  • General Committee: John Barlow (MV delegate)
  • General Committee: Greg Chalmers
  • General Committee: Reece Chalmers

It was agreed that the Membership officer role will be absorbed into other roles thanks to the efficiencies brought about by our use of Entryplace.

A massive thank you and welcome to our newest committee members Rebecca & Carlos. We look forward to working with you, and members…please make them feel welcome when you see them around the club.

Membership renewals are getting ready to be released in the next week for a 1st March start.  Along with your 2025-2026 Club membership the club are offering all members free merchandise with their renewal as a thank you for your loyalty and as a gesture of goodwill for our members.

Glenmaggie is our next competitive focus & meetings are happening next week to kick that off.
