Morning all, over the next week, Kym Ransome will be getting the volunteer roster ready for next term. It is going to be harder than ever to fill the roster with a lot of our normal official crew travelling for the BMX World Championships.

We need some new volunteers to come on board and help out to keep racing running.
Please let us know if you can help so we can organise to have you shadow a current official to learn the ropes.

We can't run a race night if we don't have all of the volunteer official spots filled.

Join our MAD CREW of qualified Officials to keep our racing and gate sessions running!

You can become a Gate starter, a Berm Official, a top or bottom Stager, a Mini wheeler Wrangler (perfect for Mini parents who's riders are already confident out on track), help in Rego and scoring, or be our First aid officer.
( *We also love new Canteen helpers, this doesn't need an Officials licence just the willingness to lend a hand )

We will train you in any area you would like to learn.

Here’s what you need to do….

It is REALLY EASY to become an Official!
