The new President of MV is Rob Mestrom from Cobram Club, his kids race motocross.

Really I think the club should forget about Easter. Why start out by upsetting MA.

An awful lot of dumb decisions are made on assumptions about what will "upset" other people...

If the host club thinks Easter is the correct date, then they should apply for it. So far we haven't heard a single prospective competitor say "I will choose HBBB over the PCMXNats"...

There's far more overlap between HBBB & CD than there is between HBBB & the PCMXNs.
There's also 1500km between HBBB and this year's PCMXN...

We applied for three dates all on long weekends in the first half of the year, Easter being the preferred choice.
It's not a matter of "upsetting MA" but an attempt to fit many big VMX and DT meetings into an already crowded calender.MA will decide on it's merits and we will abide by their decision. No agro there.

Firko was never going to compete at the PCMXNs.

That's right Nathan, but I would have been there, possibly doing some magazine work, helping with eligibility scrutineering or announcing as I've done in the past. However, my attending or not to attending the Nats makes diddley squat difference to it's potential success. For purely selfish reasons I'd like to see the meeting held over the Anzac weekend but another part of me would like to see that Nats back in the Easter weekend which was it's spiritual home for a decade.

I couldn't agree more Nathan, the club should apply for Easter but don't think for one minute that MA will rubber stamp the application without some serious investigation into the meetings effect on HBBB. We all know that very few, if any Victorians would travel to Queensland for the Nats but will MA see it that way? They're likely to assume that X number of racers will be lost to HBBB by going to the Nats and act to make sure they get the best potential rollup to their annual cash cow as possible. It's all hypothetical at the moment but it's never a good thing to assume anything until the proverbial fat lady sings.

Well, just to throw a spanner into the works!


I hope its neither, as I was planning to go to Gallipoli for ANZAC day and probably WA for Easter.

I might  just wait before I tear that YZ engine out:)

I wasn't talking about the Presidency of MV.  Darryl was the President of the Oceania Union (Aus and NZ). There will have to be a new President for that. My guess is the FIM will appoint that position. Also that new President could be from NZ. Any challenge between Aus and NZ would have to have Oceania approval. If that is what happens.

Early days yet but it was just a suggestion.
