Our Records Officer is going to set about compiling a register of members favorite rides with the aim of building a knowledge base of great rides near and far from Perth that all members can access. To to this end we need routes, instructions, distances, details ...details and pictures would be good to!

We know that some of our members have an absolute wealth of knowledge, having lead us on some memorable excursions. It would be of enormous value to the rest of the members especially our new members if we could harness this and make it available to them. Of course we don't want all our favorite roads and camping spots becoming major tourist routes do we?, so this information is destined for the members only section of the website.

If you have any favorite rides or even great ride suggestions send some details into Dave at email records@bmwmccwa.asn.au or post them here Ride Suggestions This includes mid week rides, half day rides, full day, overnight, weekend or even multi day trips.

As Dave gets it all together you will be able to see and comment on the rides in the register here Members Ride Register you can even add a RSS feed so that you get emailed every time a new resource is added.

So get your thinking caps on and get those suggestions coming in..

On Wednesday September the 5th, the club will be hosting a Monaco style Kart Racing evening at Kart World Belmont from 6:20pm to 10:15pm

Ric the Kart World Boss and one of our club members has very generously offered the club a huge discount on the event so that proceeds generated can be donated to the RFDS. This is a cause near and dear to many riders hearts and they have certainly helped out a few of our members in recent times.

Basically we are looking to attract 70 entrants for an evening of organized racing. Kart World will provide instructions, driving suits including helmets as well as snacks and soft drinks. Members, their friends, family and guests are all invited to attend, however a maximum of 70 drivers has been set. This way everyone will get a good amount of time behind the wheel.

Entry to drive will cost $60 and we plan/expect that 80% of this fee will go to the RFDS with 20% going to offset the cost of food and drink. If we reach our target of 70 drivers that means $3,360 for the RFDS new aeroplane fund.

Come along and help us reach our target, you will be supporting a worthy cause and you are bound to have a great night.

Prizes will be awarded for the best "performances".
