Recent A.P.B.A committee meeting

The interim committee for the A.P.B.A met last on 21/5/07

Temporary committee members are as follows and any of us can be asked for any details etc.

jeremy El Presedente'
Kier little el presedente'
Eion Treasurer
Neva Public relations
Andy ( rover) general committee
Gavan (gokart nut) general committee
Ashley crash general committee
Dave ( threewheels) general committee
belinda "BIBBY" secretary
and Steve our Clerk of the course as an independant committee member

Any of the above should be able to answer any queries as to what we are planning to do and any other relevant info.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ITEMS ARE ALL IN DISCUSSION AT THE MOMENT AND NONE OF THE ITEMS HAVE BEEN FINALISED AND WILL NOT BE WITHOUT VOTING FROM THE MEMBERS!!
Some of the points we covered are as follows

#Curent financial status ( which was reported to be in credit with a positive balance)

#Other track options to expannd our PB community

#Advertising our association and bringing info to the members and non members Via displays, internet, flyers, radio etc

#Social events outside of PB racing were discussed, eg camps, xmas stuff maybe even gymkana type events. Too many option to list

#Speaking to the Pooraka track owners so we can use their track as the home turf track and discussions for the future

#We discussed membership licencing etc with some discussion on non member licencing

#expanding the membership to include motards and go karts as they run with us and deserve an equal voice

#We are discussing our volunteer flaggies and think that possible they should be honary non racing members.

#Sporting loans or grants that are available to us to grow the sport and provide a safe place/places to race.


#Some committee members have been given the task of talking to the owners of all the tracks and some future options

#Membership pricing was discussed and deleberated on but due to the insurance pricing that is being inverstigated we can not finalise a fee structure

#The need for a junior delegate to join the committee was discussed and we will be asking for suitable aplicants who will then be voted in by the members

#Voted in Steve as our Clerk and independant non racing member

#Fundraising was discussed and this would be used for all sorts of items like trophys, track maintanance etc etc. ( too many to list)

# Junior training nights were discussed and will be looked further into

# bike and class rules are to be examined by Eion and Dave and brought foreward to the committee and members for evaluation.

#reduced sidecar race laps to 5 laps plus 2 warm up group up laps.

# No more that 10 bikes on the track at any time due to insurance requirements to be implimented as well as motard bikes to practice on their own.

Well if you have made it this far down my post then I see you are interested!!

Good! Once we can set up some sort of basic system we can then throw it alll open for the members to vote on positions, and all the other items being discussed.

Thankyou for your time and please feel free to email me any time to discuss these and any other issues that may and probably will come up in the future.
I will be happy to take any enquiries to the committee.
Looking forward to PB racing growth in South OZ!!!

Dave

Three wheels, as previously discussed with some of the committee was wondering how talks went in regards to keeping the fortnights we have now and just miss one fortnight due to the long weekend. Work commitments don't allow me to attend the rest of the winter series.

That was unfortunatly not our decision or doing! at this stage we are unable to dictate dates etc but it will be discussed as I know you have moved your shifts to suit the curent dates.

Hi Guys

Can someone please let us know what dates Pooraka are running Pocket Bike Races as we had scheduled your Practice Nights at the Pits in such a way that the two didn't conflict.

We have already printed and begun distribution of our dates for the next 2 months based on existing information. If Pooraka's dates have changed we will reluctantly withdraw Saturday Night Practices and will at this stage, if necessary, revert to Tuesday Nights to avoid any clashes as we want to encourage the sport, not divide it.

However as a Professional Hire Kart Operator, regards incorporating Racing Karts within your Association at my Venue, this cannot and will not happen without CAMS or AKA sanctioning of your Association. This is following a successful legal case in Victoria where a Hire Kart Operator was found negligent on the basis of allowing a driver to "Race" without sufficient training, education, testing and evaluation.

Sorry for sounding heavy on this guys, but there are Codes of Practice we have to abide by.

Regards
Jax

Hi jax

We already knew that our karts can not run at your venue . They are not wanting to come down we have just offered them our support.

Hi guys.I am a little confused here,I gather all committe members have a copy or access to the APBA constitution .There is no mention of the APBA being involved in GO-Karts or Go-Kart racing.We voted overwhelmingly not to include them in our APBA racing structure.If a track owner wants to or decides to run Go-Karts it is up to them.We are members of of Pocket Bike Club involved in the running and racing of Pocket bikes and Pocket Sidecars ONLY !!How and when did Go-Karts become a topic discussed by APBA ??

Or have I missed something here ???

Cheers a [confused] Brian

Hi Brian
dont know how to answer that one! The karts being with us is in discussion only as is all the other items I think i listed, and is open to free discussion. I have still not read the constitution but will get jeremy to email it to me tomorow. My focus is pocket bikes and I hold no secrets so thats why i started this post.

I will be taking any feedback to the next committee meeting and making sure that they are all heard.
regards
Dave

Hi Sammy its a long haul to go yet! It will take a few meetings before we can even get close to the start! This thread I hope will keep us all informed and point out the little glitched just like Brian has in previous posts.

Good things come to thoes who wait.

regards
Dave
