We hope you are enjoying the 'off' season. However, that's about to end! We have a busy few months on the may at Taupo BMX as well as the 2015/16 BMXNZ calendar kicking off shortly. We have attached the BMXNZ calendar to this email. Read on! Club Days/Nights
There will not be a club day this weekend due to the Central Region Winter Series in Hawkes Bay. Details on that are below.
We will be running through Sundays with the final Sunday Club Day being Sunday the 13th. We then will commence Club Nights from Wednesday 16th. This means we will have a few nights under lights, however, due to the BMXNZ calendar starting, we need to have Sundays free for riders to attend other meets around NZ. Central Region Winter Series
Hawkes Bay has their round this weekend - Sunday 16th August from 10am. Anyone with a Club licence, Sprocket or Open licence can ride. It would be great to get as many of our riders there! If transport is a problem, post onto our Facebook page and people may be able to help out! Check https://taupobmx.org.nz/event-flyers.html for the flyer and more information.
The final of the Winter Series is to be held here in Taupo on the 6th September from 10am. Again, anyone with a licence is able to ride. We will also be needing helpers to run the day, so please, if you are able to help out with flags, bbq, marshalling or ANYTHING, please let us know. If you don't know how a certain job is done, we can hep you and buddy you up with someone so that you can learn! Working Bee
We are having a working bee on the Saturday the 22nd to lime the track. If the weather does not play ball, we willl transfer to Sunday. We will be putting on 28 tonne of lime, so as many hands as possible will make that 28 tonne dissapear pretty quickly! The track needs to be looking good for Winter Series, Pre-Norths and of cpourse the big one - 2015 North Island Titles! Rider Licencing
We have revewed our licence fees for the remainder of the year and they have been adjusted accordingly. Taupo Strider Licence $20 (uci age 4yrs and under) BMXNZ Open Licence (Challange) $65 (uci age 8yrs and over) BMXNZ Sprocket Licence $65 (uci age 7yrs and under) BMXNZ Club Licence $45 (uci age 8yrs and over)
Upgrade from Club to Open $45 Upgrade from Strider to Sprocket $45
All these fees run from 1st September 2015 to 31st December 2015 and include access into the track.
If you need to licence or up grade your licence to enter the Pre-Norths or 2015 BMXNZ North Island Champs, can you please have money and paper work to Jane NO LATER than 10th September so they are processed in time. If you have any questions, please ask! Training
This season we are lucky to have a few options for training. Sprocket training will be starting soon. Details for that will be sent out when they have been finalised. For those riders that are starting off the gate and are wanting to advance their riding skills, Scott will be holding training on a Monday night, starting on the 17th August from 5.30pm. Lance is to start his training on Tuesday 18th August at 5.30. This training is for Taupo BMX members who are intermediated to advanced in their skills and are committed to travelling away for racing. While training is on, the track is closed to everyone else. Please respect that. Gates
There has been interest on more gate sessions in the weekend from our members and also out of town club members. Once club days move to Wednesdays, this will open up more space in the weekend for gates - these sessions will be notified on our Facebook page with as much notice as possible given. Again, we need volounteers to help man these, so if you can help or want to learn the gate, please ask! Taupo Race Jerseys
