   I spent 3 years on the Committee of a Vintage Bike Club.
   And One thing that amazed me was that Blokes would ring up and
   Wanted to know when the Next years Calendar was out...
   Before the year was even started ….
   But it was not till Ask .....Why do you need to know Now!!!!
   We have not worked out all the Date yet.
   Can you hang On a bit longer!!!
   The Answer was ........I need to get in first to let my Boss know witch
   Saturdays I need to get Off...some wanted to take the Monday off as well .
   And if left too long I could Miss out on getting the days off...That I need if I want to come to that Event ...
   Then It all made scents...
  So I now under stand Why …
  And it works Both ways The Blokes at VMX are trying to run a Grate Mag
  And Put on a Big event like Classis Dirt 10 and thare is a Shit load of work to do That...…
  And Blokes are trying to get in first to the Boss for the weekend
  Or for a week off work ……..

   It all make thing Hard        Sorry

I will never forget last year, i took the friday off from work, we set up camp in the rain and sleet on friday arvo as the sun went down some dude on a four wheeler came and told us we were too close to the fence. It was a good thing that the dude had a couple of kids with him so we just buttoned our lips and did what he asked. We had to move everything. two hours later some more people set up in the same possi near the fence and they stayed there all weekend. What a F around. so it goes to show its not worth getting there early to get a good position.
I must say that marking out with track hardwood timber stakes seemed a bit dangerous.

I believe Suzuki Australia the main sponsor usually run it before Phillip Is. So thats a gap of about 7 months

A date hasn't been announced for CD10 as yet for the simple reason it hasn't been set.  We are  frustrated that this hasn't happened as yet but hopefully it will be known in the next few weeks (and advertised in Issue 53 - out in mid-March).

Brett, please call me anytime 02 9452 1444 or email me if you have complaints about the event, I'm happy to discuss any time.  In short though, we had conditions on our Development Consent (yes, we had to lodge a Development Application with Council and submit Statements of Environmental Effects, Traffic Reports, Neighbour consultation, other impacts etc etc etc) with Lithgow Council that required certain setbacks from the neighbouring properties.  The person who asked  you to move back was doing their job (and unfortunately the same person should have asked the others to move).  After the event, we received a letter from Council stating that the neighbour had complained that some people camped too close to their boundary, in violation of our Consent conditions, and at this moment in time that issue with Council remains unresolved.  That issue, however, is not the reason for not having a date for CD10 at this point, in case you were wondering, that's just another matter to resolve.  As for the 'dangerous' wooden stakes for marking out the track, they were reviewed (and recommended) by not only numerous racers with national and international experience but also by the MNSW official who signed off on the track.  They were only a few inches out of the ground, practically at ground level, and certainly did not cause any injuries to the 500 or so riders who were at the event.

The set back from the boundary was also marked by rope complete with bright orange flags and also signs with bright red text ,stating no camping beyond this point.

Its beyond comprehension why people would even set up camp  there anyway.

thanks ken- You do have some issues....bloody red tape and councils

[Freakshow]

Do you have a month ? we are about to do our Dt and MX calenders for the year and would like to avoid that month if possible so people can go to your event and not class.  I assume Broadford is still on for April ?

[vmxken]

September still looks the best.

Ken mate i fully understand about council regulations and the fact that there were conditions placed on the event,
Why were we not told as we paid our money at the gate or when we were directed where to setup camp. If anything someone may consider this to save others inconvenience
