State Champs, AGM, CHC, LivGiant Ride, Raffle

State champs are fast approaching. Here’s a map of what the course may or may not look like – i.e. it’s subject to change because who likes to know everything? The course needs some pruning, so if you’re keen to help out shoot a message over to racedirector@ambc.asn.au so that you can arrange logistics and story times.

Yet another reminder that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held right before presentations – around 2pm. If you’d like to nominate for a position, then send an email to info@ambc.asn.au to let us know. Remember, you can challenge existing committee members, but why would you when we have some great positions available:

  • Timing Coordinator
  • Registration Coordinator
  • Media Coordinator
  • Sponsorship Coordinator
  • Secretary

The timing role stops the person from racing and the committee compensates this by making it a paid position. 

Timing and registration coordinator positions are a must have in order for races to go ahead. 

What’s CHC? COLD HARD CASH – The series points have been tallied and winners have been decided. The prizes will be awarded after the AGM and right before State Champs prizes. Remember that all championship categories in the State Champs attract CHC – some categories even paying to 5th!

Check out the State Champs page for more info.

Remember that the State Champs will also incorporate the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Now is the time to elect for any position on the committee. If you feel you can assist in any way, then let us know. We have quite a few vacant positions that need filling for next year – two are race critical:

  1. Registration Coordinator
  2. Timing Coordinator (can’t race – paid position)
  3. Media Coordinator
  4. Sponsorship Coordinator
  5. Secretary

AGM, Final Giant XCO and Masters Games

AMBC+Giant

The final round of the Giant XCO is upon us this weekend. The race is it Craigburn and we need the usual crew of volunteers to help out on the day:

  • BBQ MasterChef – flip a sausage or two. Maybe chop some onions.
  • Course pack up – always a favourite after smashing down a Solo.
  • Registration desk – get to know people and their plates.

REGISTRATION CLOSES: 10 am Sat 10th Oct so make sure you click on THIS LINK and go through the steps. If you have any dramas, shoot an email to timing@ambc.asn.au BEFORE 10am Sat.

 

The MTB leg of the Australian Masters Games is on the Saturday before the race. If you haven’t entered, you’re basically missing the Masters Games, but feel free to come along and politely heckle the competitors.

 

A final note for this post is the announcement of the clubs Annual General Meeting. All members should have received an email with more details. If you’re not a member and are interested in helping the committee, you’re more than welcome to. We’ll sort out a MTBA membership and free race entries if that’s your thing (so long as you’re not timing). The club is particularly looking to fill the following positions:

  • Secretary
  • Registration Coordinator
  • Timing Coordinator
  • Media Coordinator
  • Sponsorship Coordinator

If you think you can help out, send a very informal “I’d like to help with (insert role)” to info@ambc.asn.au

The AGM will be held at the State Champs on 08th November 2015 at aprox. 2pm – just before presentations.

Gravity Enduro South Australia are also looking for a couple of people to step up and assist with organising the races for next year. If you’re interested in that, head over to their Facebook page and shoot them a message.
