Club Membership Changes
Date: 22-Jul-2024To all club members,
For a number of years now the club membership system has operated on a 12 month rolling calendar basis, i.e. if you joined up in April 2024 your membership would expire in April 2025. This worked fine until the SACU moved their competition licensing online in such a way that the club now needs to approve every SACU licence application from one of our members. At the AGM held in December 2023 a vote was passed to allow the club to return to December to December membership at the end of 2024. Under the new system anyone joining in say April 2025 will see their membership will expire at the end of December 2025 as indeed will all club memberships. It is our intention to offer half price memberships at some point during the calendar year to ensure that we can keep providing value for money and that new members are not being unfairly penalised. It was also decided by a vote of the membership at the same AGM that we would no longer send membership cards out due to the costs involved in printing and posting them. Your e-mail receipt of payment will be your proof of club membership.
The new system has 3 main advantages for the club, 1) it greatly simplifies our administration 2) we are now in sync with the SACU licence portal, 3) we can take advantage of the membership system offered to us by our online entry providers at no extra cost. This year has been a bit of a transition year for memberships but I must advise that no-one should use the membership link on the homepage of the website to join the club or renew their membership. I am aware that a small number of people have used this link in the recent past and we will be in touch with them shortly to offer them refunds or extended memberships. Any current club member whose membership is due to expire before the 2024 AGM has now had their membership automatically extended at no cost.
What happens next? Nothing happens now until the next AGM in December 2024 when the members will take a vote on the 2025 membership fees. Once these are decided, all members will be advised of the new membership rates and given a link to allow them to join or re-join the club. All memberships will then be valid until the 2025 AGM where the process will repeat itself.
Behind the scenes we are working hard to get a new website in place to give all the correct links and reflect the current club structure but it’s taking far longer (and proving more costly) than we had ever envisaged. Hopefully that is reasonably clear to everyone but if you do have any questions just ask away by e-mailing bill@bamcc.co.uk

Enduro 21st April Final Instructions
Date: 19-Apr-2024The riders final instructions for the enduro on the 21st of April can be found here Please make sure you read them and understand them. Due to protected nesting birds there must be no excessive revving of engines in the paddock area, no parking in front of the quarry entrance and please take all your litter home. When riders reach the start of the special test they should stop and wait for the automated display to count down to GO before they enter the test. This way each rider gets at least a 15 second gap and if there are faster riders waiting at the start please consider letting them go first. We have a large entry and it's going to be busy......
Club Trials Championship Rnd.4
Date: 19-Apr-2024The 4th round of the club trials championship has had to be moved at short notice from Monymusk to Colpy as the result of a waterlogged car park. We gave it every chance but the recent somewhat wet weather has left the car park deeply rutted. Fortuneatly we have secured Colpy as our alternative venue and as result the trial will start half an hour earlier than usual at 10:30am.
