Think Jimmy wanted to know the date of event Dave?...and who let you have holidays !!! haha 21 October is Pony Express 3, the location is up in the air atm, we obviously have our track however theres a couple of punters looking to host this event for us on another property. Time is against the committee on this one right now imo but nothing is beyond them. The committee is looking to confirm asap....Stay tuned.

I am onto it..... Pony Express is looking like being at our Club Track with no options anywhere else being readily avail right now. With so many new sections being added this year it promises to be a great track and if all are combined prob a long track too. With any luck a little bit of the supercross perhaps, or even a rip round the speedway track to dust it off a little...who knows.... Be ready for the 21st, be there early, EASY! If your looking to go Ironman, there were only 2 last time so congrats! youre on the podium!

Hi guys,
it is with great regret that the committee has decided that we cannot run pony no 3. unfortunatley at this time we have a few commitee members away on holidays and simply will not have the people to organise and run this event.
we also have the beginning of the superx series in November 10 of which there is a lot of things to be done in order to get ready for this.
we had to make this tough deceision last night during our monthly meeting and after much discussion and debate we the committee feel we would be spread to thin at this event.
we are going to have a saturday / sunday busy bee with a ride on the sunday afternoon for those that help.
the idea will be that we will start around lunch time saturday work until we have had enough then stay saturday night have a bit of a piss up (possibly soem entertainement) and then go again sunday morning until we have acheived our goal then have a ride. we will have macheinery there and the idea will be to prep the track during the busy bee (hopefully get enough help) and then we can ride a fully prepped traqck in the afternoon.
the works that we need to do as a priority (otherwise we cannot hold the superx events)
instal the new pump for the sprinklers install some pipe work for the sprinklers test and replace sprinkler heads as nessacery install new street lighting install new pit lighting install new clubhouse surround lighting
we are looking for anyone that has any experince of any kind to come and give us a hand we also need if anyone has any access to it
2-5 ton excavator with trenching bucket 6 wheeler tipper truck various sized electrical cable electrician
anyone that comes and help will be rewarded with some new mebership incentives of which mel should hopefully post soon so you can all see.
thanks again guys we are sorry for the inconvenice
UJB

im playing devils advocate here...and maybe taking the words out of Jimmys mouth before he gets in....sorry Jimmy , cheap shot! haha so we dont have enough people to run a Pony but we have enough people to do the above ?? Im confused. Either way I'll be there Sunday, cant make Sat night as i have TBall for Tristyn in the a.m. with my Nephews birthday in the arvo.

troy we dont have enough people to run the event, because nobody wants to help they want to ride.
we are hoping that rather than having to be at the track every weekend for eight weeks in a row that we will be able o get some members interested in helping so that we might get to have a weekend break before the superx series starts.
if anyone else isnt happy with it they could have come to the meeting and discussed it and offered to helped a rather small committe at the minute.

its a shame that the third pony isnt being run. i was looking forward to one last enduro for the season.
just wondering if those riders who performed well and are leading the series after the first two ponies are getting trophies this year? wouldnt want them to miss out on the recognition of the good riding that they have done.
also, how many superx's are planned for this summer?

playing devils advocate Murph, not saying anyone isnt happy, im just saying we dont have many people outside of the usual suspects who spend the entire xmas holidays last year working at the track.
and yes i will ride all the events, as i joined the club to have a place to ride and have my family ride. One member of my family has not ridden this year at all and weve been to every event bar 1. If i wanted to join a club to work i would do it somewhere that i would get paid.
Would you join a basketball club to umpire every game day? i dont think so. You would occasionally to do your part but not every time and no one would expect that of anyone. Judging from the amount of PM's ive had regarding this recent event change i would say this is the common theme.
anyway food for thought, not the first time this has been raised this year or last, I hope that the membership benefits reach all those who deserve them thats all.

I think it's disappointing for those who support and work on the SuperX events even though they don't ride in them to have the last of THREE Pony events canceled. If there needs to be a rotating roster then let's make it happen rather than canceling an event that many have been looking forward to!

we all probably take advantage of the committee as they do a great job we forget that they ride as well, so the roster system could work it has my vote , dont think telling them to sell there bikes or stop taking holidays will work lol ;D ;D

it is disspoainting to have to conacel the last pony but the truth of the matter is no body wants to help and then we go from there into twoo weekends trying to get ready for superx and again nobody wants to help we all have jobs lives etc so we cant be there every weekend we NEED HELP.
i like the idea of the rotating roster but again everyone is keen until someone has to do something without the help of a small few nothing happens.
it is always the ones who complain the most that are the least interested in helping out at an event.
