At the risk of getting in a bit early (man has to plan!) does anybody know whether you need rego for Bagshot? Cheers Jerry

No, I don't think so. As far as I know it's on private property. Therell be updates on the Vinduro Victoria website once the Harrow extravaganza is done with.

Entry forms for the Bagshot Vinduro on Sep 16 are coming soon. The Bendigo Motorcycle Club has been very busy lately, and is hosting the Ravenswood Cup this weekend, but the forms should be available next week.
As previously mentioned, the Bendigo Car Club will be providing catering on the day, and will also be selling raffle tickets so we ask that everyone supports them.
More details about the actual course will be published soon too, so stay tuned.

Overview
The Bendigo Motorcycle Club (BMCC) will host this event on Sunday 16 September at the Bagshot Motor Sports Complex. This venue is owned by the Bendigo Car Club, who will be providing catering on Sunday, and selling raffle tickets. We urge everyone to support them.
Standard vinduro guidelines apply (i.e. Pre 1985, headlight and tail light fitted, adequate silencing, bikes in safe working order, etc.). As usual, this is a non-competitive event.
The event and course
This vinduro will be held over a short course, approximately 5 – 7 km in length (TBC). Basically, somewhere between the 2012 HBBB and 2011 Ballan Sprint loops in length and layout. More details of the course will be published on the Vinduro Victoria website ASAP.
The event is for senior riders only, and there is no area set aside for junior riders. Minibikes and pitbikes must not be ridden anywhere at the venue, including the pit area.
Entry forms shall be lodged on Sunday morning (and possibly Saturday afternoon for campers). Entry fees are $40 (MA licence holder), and $60 (includes one day licence). A nominal one day BMCC membership fee may also apply (TBC).
Rider starting order will be decided on the day. Lap tallies will most likely be recorded via a punch-card system.
Directions
The Bagshot Motor Sports Complex is approximately 27.6 kms from the centre of Bendigo. Detailed directions will be available soon on the Vinduro Victoria website. It will also be signposted.
Camping
Riders are welcome to camp at the Bagshot Motor Sports Complex, and may arrive from Saturday afternoon onwards. There are good facilities, with basic toilets and showers, but no mains power.
No bikes are to be ridden at the venue on Saturday, and we ask that participants also refrain from riding on the surrounding roads. No dogs are permitted on site.
This is the first time that a vinduro has been held at this venue, and we ask that everyone behaves in a responsible manner, so that we get asked back again next year. Don’t leave a mess behind!
Spectators
This venue is ideal for spectators, with several good vantage points.

Thursday update:
The vinduro loop at Bagshot is coming along very nicely according to BMCC member John. There’s quite a bit of variety, with formed vehicle tracks mixed with tight single trail snaking between trees. The club is aiming for a loop that will take a fast rider about 15 minutes to complete.
The guys will be back out there tomorrow putting the finishing touches to the loop.
Thanks for the invite mate!
Oh, no worries. Maybe next time...

60+ riders enjoyed a great day's vinduro riding at Bagshot today. Thanks to the BMCC for putting this on; and to the Bendigo Car Club for the use of the land and providing catering. Everyone agreed the track was a ripper, and there was a good variety of bikes getting out there and having a go.

That's awesome Tony. You sure know your trade.
Fancy putting a bloody bog-hole in when someone's out wearing their Sunday best!
Wouldn't mind getting a copy of that..... :)

YAY!!! i'm not the only one that screwed up on that log ;D
There was a nice little jump on the right hand side of it you could use trials style to get over it (however my first half-a-dozen attempts were less than liquid ::)).

Great set of pics Tony, that mound (pic #4) eventually got me....got really chewed out and I stalled and tumbled, then got severely roosted as I had graciously fallen off the line to let others pass... ::)
Fantastic event, great turnout. 66 riders and a great array of bikes. Might take my TC125 next time too!!
Cheers,
Chris.
