Firstly thanks to the Worland’s, the land owners. They went to a lot of effort to assist with the set up of the trial as well rather than just simply make the land available.

I’d also like the thank the amazing efforts of the people involved in setting up the trial: Greg & Reece Chalmers, Jimmy Dunger, Matt Kerr, Craig Genner, Simon Watts, Les Pattinson, Peter Wines, and Simon Colombo.

There was a Pub Meal on the Saturday night and it’s fair to say we will do that again.

I haven’t got around to the series points yet, but here are the results from Round 2.

Following on from the success of the summer series and Round 1 held by Southern Trial Riders, OMCC are launching into their first round of the winter series at Winchelsea.

This will be round 2 in a 5 round series.

• Round 1: Sunday 18^th April 2021, Mardan [STR]
• Round 2: Sunday 16^th May 2021, Winchelsea [OMCC]
• Round 3: Sunday 20^th June 2021, Wildwood [OMCC]
• Round 4: Sunday 18^th July 2021, Scarsdale [OMCC]
• Round 5: Saturday 30^th – Sunday 31^st October 2021, TBC [Joint OMCC & STR]
• Awards & Presentation: Sunday 12^th December, OMCC Club Grounds [OMCC]

Camping is available Saturday night at no charge, just please bring all your rubbish home as there will be no bins.

Entries close Thursday prior to the day of the event @ 11:55pm.

Thank you to all our very committed members who made it today in some particularly terrible weather. Despite the conditions we had 48 members come along to help (some of these are family memberships, so there were more than 48 bodies) and you could tell as the car park was full of cars.

The weather limited what we could do however we still managed:

• Cleaned the container out
• Cleaned up the section setting gear
• Trimmed long grass
• Cut the growth over the fence along northern and western fence lines
• Move clubroom furniture
• Cleaned the walls
• Patched & poly-filled the holes
• Made a great start on the painting with the skirting boards
• Patched holes in the roof
• Mulched a stack of cuttings
• And much more!

From all accounts, this was one of the best turnouts in our recent history.

It’s understandable that not everyone can make it, and I appreciate those who have reached out and let me know and offered an alternative. We will be having a ‘make-up’ day on Saturday 24th April to finish the club room painting and non-attendants will get a follow up email.

Thank you again…big things are happening at OMCC and this club spirit is a big part of it.

Thanks to the 109 entrants, 25 of which came from interstate. It was a warm, but relaxing weekend. Due to the recent rains, the creeks were up and there was a number of areas we could not use. We even saw a few drowned bikes.

We raised over $2500 for Tim Coleman’s recovery efforts through camping fees and donations.

We are looking forward to seeing you all again next year.

Results below…photos to follow.

Yesterday was the final wrap up of the summer series with a trophy presentation, social ride day and BBQ.

Congratulations to all our award winners and also Rocky, our newest life member.

This is why you want to be a member of OMCC! Here is Les Pattinson who set sections for us at the Summer Series. Then he observed at the Summer Series. Then he realised some of the newer riders were struggling in a few areas so he reached out to them. Then he ran an impromptu training session on Thursday night for them! Thank you Les.
