by  • 
The 2024 AGM is being held on Sunday the 1/12/24 starting at 1015 at Hi Voltage Entertainment 4 Hubert Street, Belmont, upstairs in their function room. All committee positions will be declared vacant and the committee for 2025 will be elected. So far there has been no nominations for committee positions, if anyone is interested in being on the committee for 2025 and shaping the direction of your club please reach out to the current committee or myself, otherwise nominations will be taken on the day. Lew has announced he will be retiring from President this year and will not be standing for 2025 so please give some thought into who you would like to see as President and encourage them to nominate. All positions need to be filled in order for the club to function properly throughout the year. 
 
At the conclusion of the AGM we will have the trophy presentations for all of the clubs perpetual awards and other trophies recognising the achievements of individuals throughout the year. As has been tradition in past years, awards and recognition aren’t typically given to those not in attendance at the presentation day, so be sure to keep the day clear and come and join in the day, who knows you may walk away with an award for the year. 
 
After the AGM and presentations we will have 2 rounds of go-karts each followed by finger food. Cost to participate in the go-karts is $40each which has been subsidised by the club. Please RSVP to info.vmxwa@gmail.com and pay before Sunday the 24th November so we can advise the venue of confirmed numbers. Payment can be made directly to the club account BSB 036-069 Account 24-3603, please advise once you have made payment. 
 
For those not wishing to participate in the go-karts please still RSVP before Sunday the 24th November so we can ensure we have enough food catered for the day, there is no pressure to participate in the go-karts and we still encourage you to attend for the day. It is expected the days festivities will conclude around 2pm.
 
Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday the first of December for our combined AGM and End of Year Wind Up.

Wandering “Paynes Find” 27/10/2024 – Round 3 World Championships Report

by  • 
 
There was a total of 24 riders signed on for our last race day of the year. With 19 Pre ’75 bikes on the line for practice we were able to run 2 classes of Pre ’75 plus a Pre ’85 class and sidecars. Although dusty the track held up well especially after a good watering in between rounds. An overall social and successful day with highly enjoyable racing.
 
The world Championship race had 14 on the line chasing those valuable points. Justin Clayden won the round and also secured the VMXWA Pre ’75 World Championship title for 2024.
 
A big Thank You to everyone who made the day possible including our Steward of the day Richard Hall who made the trip down to be our official. Thank you to those involved in track setup and pack up especially Danny Byrne, Stewart Berry and Lew White who were on track watering duties Saturday and Sunday. Whoever showed Danny where the air horns are on the truck have a lot to answer for.
 
Keep an eye out for an announcement about the Go-Kart wind up later this year along with the 2024 AGM, all committee positions are declared vacant and we definitely need a President for 2025 so please give some thought about assisting your club and the direction it takes for 2025. If you are curious about any of the committee positions please approach any of the current committee and we’ll happily answer any questions.
