From the editors keyboard.

Our newsletter has been in 2 year hiatus due to several factors, one being the horrendous workload I as editor have been having at work as well as some pressing personal matters. However a lot has been sorted out and I am spending more time at home these days. Hopefully we can get back to putting at least one Sprocket out each quarter.
We of course would appreciate any input from members as well so let me know and I will have it published on the next edition of The Sprocket.
Now for some ranting from the Editor:
Something that I as organiser and official find irksome is how often we get asked to get an event organised and after much fanfare we have only a handfull of competitors pitch. Riders seem to think that organising a Flat Track race is cheap in both time and cost. Well folks it is not, our last race was not a great success and I for one have doubts that there will be any more this year. Having 20 odd people enter with Medics, Officials and other expenses to pay out of such a small turnout is just not cost effective. Half the people asking for a race never pitch? My suggestion is that all those that want to race get together, set a date, pay an organising fee and then we get the show on the road... comments to the Editor per e-mail welcome.

Basic Track Rules

Members are requested to adhere to the main track rules as follows;

NO RIDING WITHOUT a HELMET... anywhere, anytime please, even on a ride to the toilet.

We notice that quite a few people still ingnore this basic safety rule.... Please folks it is for your own good! We don't want to be policemen and want you all to enjoy your experience at BORC and not have to come and visit you in intensive care!

ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR on the tracks. Competition rules apply when using the tracks for practice!

No racing on access roads please. This will be enforced as this is an exremely dangerous practice and will not be tollerated.

No riding in the wrong directon on the tracks!

Counter Clockwise on the Junior MX Track and Clockwise on the Flat Track and Senior MX Track.

NB! Complete Track rules are being formulated for posting on the notice boards, and will be handed out in phamplet form as well as in the visitors book.

Membership cards must be produced for practice sessions! - Keep our track neat and use the bins provided.

Kennisgewing borde is in die stoep van die klubhuis opgerig word waar belangrike inligting beskikbaar gemaak word aan lede. Kyk uit hiervoor en neem kennis. Hopefully we will have noticeboards fitted to the entrance alcove at the flat track toilet block soon as well.
