CHEAPER ENTRY FEES

SUBJECT: CLASSIC SCRAMBLING CAN BE AFFORDABLE.
Peter Ellard President of the Classic Scramble Club said today.
“The Classic Scramble Club will be running all future series club events under the AASA insurance scheme.
We have taken this action to make classic scrambling more affordable to riders” he said.
“Currently the cost of classic scrambling for riders is becoming cost prohibitive and this has serious consequences on organizing clubs with rider numbers dropping.
Clubs cannot be continually forced into putting up entry fees because of outside influences.
Taking this action we are certain that we can cut entry fees and therefore attract more riders into our sport, by simply making it affordable” he said.
“The only outside cost is a one off $50.00 annual license fee payable to AASA which riders must have before entering and a $90.00 entry fee payable to the CSC for organized club events. Whilst most running costs will remain the same the biggest savings will be made by dropping all or part of the $55.00 one day license fee and the $290.00 annual and the rider $11.00 levy from the current entry costs to riders” he said.
“The Classic Scramble Club will not be ceasing its’ affiliation with Motorcycling Victoria as we see MV as a very vital resource for competitive motor cycling in Victoria, this also gives our members another aspect to compete in other clubs organized events which will provide funds to MV” he concluded

Well done, thankyou.

Nice work. It's good to see a club take the leap out of their comfort zone, for the benefit of their members.
The more clubs do it, the more MA will be forced to sharpen their act.

So..on this side of the Island... buy your one day licence / National comp licence..(something you have to work out depending on how many rides you are going to do for the year) (or Nats licence)..entry fee to race at a club day.. $25... Club membership $80....away you go.....

Yep works well over here.  Do more than 5 rides a year and you've paid for the Nat Lic, rather than the $55.00 for the one meet ( 5x 55.00=275.00).

The Real Cost of Racing

no problems with the licence fee, the $25.00 to the club appears to be a bit light to cover other expenses, $150.00 race permit, $11.00 rider levy, cost of venue hire, first aid payment,  providing facilities for riders and spectators, these are expenses that need to be taken into account when calculating costs.

The figures Watto HVA 1 put up are quite correct for both "Classic" clubs in WA.   The fee might only change by about $5.00 for some events.  The clubs lease their own venues on a peppercorn rent.  We don't hold any championship events etc, but we have a damn good time

Have one question if i turn up at a csc meet is a MA license excepted and vice versa is the new license excepted by viper and vcm .

[jerry]

Good question. Perhaps Peter E from CSC can answer. I will try and find out from VCM perspective. J

[petard]

only our series events  will be run under the aasa system and there requirements are that every entrant must hold their club licence therefore an ma licence would not be acceptable.
riding any other clubs' events (vcm or viper) a one day ma comp or national licence would be needed.
I am not aware of ma ratifying the aasa licence.
 

[Spanish Armada]

Then a regular rider that rides in CSC and other clubs and also vinduro  how can they benefit is this when they have to still hold another license

Interesting to note that the Superbike meeting at Wakefield this past weekend was an AASA sanctioned event.

Ill move my post in the other tread to here as it seems to be overlooked in the other

Haven't been on here for a while and must of missed all the clubs info on this change but have a few queries.

Last year the MA structured entry was from memory $60.00 per event, license $290.00 for an annual one, total cost with seven rounds $710.00 and the bonus to do other events with other clubs and the nationals.

New structure is $90.00 for an entry plus $50.00 for annual license, total cost for the seven rounds $680.00, if you do other clubs events or nationals extra $55.00 for day license equals $735.00 and rising.

May be beneficial to the people who don't do every round I suppose but not to me. Doesn't add up to me but maybe I'm looking at it wrongly would be pleased to be proven wrong.

Killed two threads now with that question/observation.
