Committee News Oct 2011
Due to the fact that there was a last minute shift from the usual Wednesday night to Monday night, 3 October, and that some members had traveled overseas, the committee only just made a quorum of eight members with Peter Lodge in the chair. Minutes of the September meeting were accepted and discussed. Yvonne Piggott had agreed to help out wherever possible and has already updated the Register mailing list. Thank you Yvonne. There is a problem with any attempt to link our Website listings with those shown on Race Manager but this is being worked on. Re the Website, James McIntosh has done a great job setting it up but we now need someone to run the day-to-day input of material. Peter Lodge is looking into this. Rhys Jones is happy to continue editing the Megaphone, and Rob Cochrane is doing nicely on the advertising and promotional side of things. Phil Harrington has been approached to work with Rhys Jones to put together a shed/personal profile type presentation on individual members for publication in the Megaphone. So watch out. You could have Phil suggesting you open out with your inner most secrets one day

Committee News Sep 2011

Business arising from the minutes of the previous meeting included a reminder for members to give some active thought to a 5yr/10yr plan for the Register, the need to be more proactive in welcoming new members and acknowledging those who had been with the Register for 20 years plus, the need to formalize arrangements with the NZPCRA re their more intimate involvement with our future events, and the need to explore the future and development of the Megaphone.

10/11/10The fine weather of Labour weekend was eclipsed by the scorching performances in both the Senior and Junior TT races.

In the Senior a great battle ensued between Andrew Stroud, eventual winner, and Hayden Fitzgerald who retired after running wide on lap 12. In the Junior Ginger Molloy diced with Andrew Stroud eventually winning by just over half a second.

Message from the President - June
A lot has happened since our last issue of the Megaphone, not only in relation to racing but other events that have touched us all. I refer to the massive earthquake in Christchurch, and the Japan earthquake and tsunami with the consequential nuclear reactor problems. From what I can gather our Register members in both locations are safe.
During January members of the Register took part in the NZFMR Chris Amon Festival. read more...

Race withdrawals and entry fee refunds
Entrants can get a refund of their entry fees provided they inform the race secretary (email is fine for this – contact
nzcmrr.com) anytime up to the day before the race that they are not going to compete. When asking for a refund, please provide the date of the credit card transaction, and the name on the card. We can find the card number to credit the refund to from that information, usually. Of course, notice would be preferred as early as possible, as a courtesy to help with grids and programmes. But we are aware that some people work until the last minute to prepare but strike some problem that cannot be sorted out in time, so we will always have some late notifications. -
Dogs
No dogs are allowed at any NZCMRR race meeting. The risk of a dog getting out of control and in way of a race machine is not acceptable.
Anyone turning up with a dog will not be permitted access to the meeting.
There will be no exceptions to this rule.
