on something important. There is lots happening in the coming
months and the club will need you to lend a hand in some way,                             The View from the Front - by Zac Fuller
shape or form otherwise what is planned simply won’t be able
to go ahead. The next racing coming up after the classics at
Pukekohe is Sound of Thunder at Ruapuna with a solid group of
members taking the pilgrimage to take it to the mainlanders
then the national rounds. To all racers and members I hope you
are prepared to give a little more as this year will be one of the
most important years in the clubs history since it’s inception
100yrs ago. See you Tue and/or Thurs to find out more.

Cheers Frilly

        Then, even BIGGER than BIG!!!                                           Practice complete feeling reasonably happy with the setup, we headed into race

Again, we will be looking for plenty of help from ordinary club members at      of the Pro Twins. I got shuffled back to third on the heels of the leaders but again
various times, please make yourself available.                                  didn’t quite have the pace to stick with them. Another podium finishing 3rd!

                                                                For the weekend I didn’t expect much coming in and to finish every race on the
                                                                podium is absolutely mega for me! Overall I wrapped up Round 1 with a 3rd, 5

                                                                Round 2 held in Timaru was a mixed bag of emotions. Heading in feeling really
                                                                positive with a great team behind me this weekend. Starting with a test day on
                                                                Wednesday to get my head around the track and then started to feel out the bike
                                                                for where we need to work on setup come Friday test day.
                                                                Friday test day was really positive finding a really comfortable setup throughout
                                                                the day getting to grips with the bike more and more. Going into race day feeling
                                                                prepared and ready to rumble.
                                                                Qualifying I put in one heater lap straight off the bat which put me 2nd on the grid!
                                                                Race one I pulled the holeshot and led a few laps then slotted in behind the
                                                                leader and waited for my opponent to pounce. On the last lap I made the move
                                                                and came across the line to take my first NZSBK Championship Pro Twins Win!

                                                                take another Win!

                                                                I had the speed to make a run for it. After making a few mistakes I got out of

                                                                my inexperience got the best me and ended up throwing it down the road at the

                                  Club Secretary
    Believe it or not, despite having the word “Secretary” in the title, this is not a role
     restricted to the female of the species …. this is an important role, keeping the
communication channels open between the members, the committee, and the organisations
 we deal with. Time wise shouldn’t be too onerous, an hour or so here and there, and best      ABOVE: Dillon Telford in the 600 Supersport Levels
      that you are available for all committee meetings – there is only one a month.

 Holder of the membership Book, and recorder of members. You will be someone who
  attends most club nights, and is computer savvy enough to keep an eye on incoming
emails and payments, to enable cards to be posted asap, as often they are time critical for
                             members wishing to compete.
                                Newsletter Editor
You’ll need to attend committee meetings, and assemble and format the magazine over the
weekend following. You know what the newsletter looks like – we format it using Adobe
InDesign, which I can train you in, if you are up for it. Needs a few hours commitment in
 the week between committee meeting and club night. Usually you will collect mag from
printers, and post the ones requiring posting, although this part can be assigned to another
                            person if it doesn’t fit your schedule.
                                      Treasurer
 Ensures all income is accounted for, and banked, and all bills are paid on time. Maintain
   accurate records in Xero accounting system, provide monthly updates to committee,
  and prepare End of Year Balance sheet in February. Must be able to attend committee
                                        meetings.
                               Property Manager
Someone to keep an eye on building maintenance issues, and make sure that maintenance
is done in a timely manner. This can be by personal skill, organizing working bees of club
members, or organising professional services as appropriate. You will need to specify and
      obtain quotes for professional services, and obtain council permits if required.

                           Hugh Anderson: “How I felt when receiving the news? At first, apprehension: do my
                           relatively modest achievements warrant this honour? Will I, can I, do justice to this
                           invitation? Some hours later I felt a feelgood sensation envelope me. A gratification
                           that after all this time the modern world has not forgotten the past and the riders of
                           a very much different era still have some value. A question of the history of our sport
                           being recognised at the highest level. Thank you.”
