Many thanks 17 parents and assorted riders who came along to the track yesterday. We got a lot done, and our first ride days on Nov 6 & 7 are looming :-). Special call out to Josh C, our tireless Working Bee co-ordinator.
Next weekend we have one more Working Bee to finalise some outstandings on the track. If you have not already signed up to help via https://forms.office.com/r/Xh0LCtJ1EF - particularly if you did not come and help 24/10, can you please do so? Also it's not too late to sign-up to get endorsed if you now have a bigger bike than what is shown on your license. Sign up in RiderNet at osm-ma.omnisportsmanagement.com/EventManager/EM_RegEventInformation.aspx?EventId=39%2bRiPMu1VUcU7%2fI3qDS0ui%2frL6Eo8lS Thanks to the following for the 24/10 Working Bee:
Hi Hornsby peeps
We’re excited for the potential for things to open up soon. The Club’s calendar at www.hjdbc.com.au/calendar has been updated as follows, subject to NSW Health regulation allowing us to proceed.
LOUEE SOCIAL WEEKEND is still on per the Calendar. You will receive an email over the next few days to register for Louee. Double Vaccination will be required. The AGM and Presentation of 2021 Awards is now Sun 5th Dec, which we will do with a Social Ride day at Hornsby. We will follow all NSW Health guidelines whatever they may be. Expect that age appropriate proof of DOUBLE VACCINATION will likely be a requirement. Please check your gear and bikes for fit and operation after such a long lockdown. Whose boots no longer fit? Also check your MNSW License has not expired. Remember your Club Sponsors. If you need gear do contact Chris at https://www.onthethrottle.com.au. If your bike needs some love, Nathan at SMW at https://sydneymotorcyclewreckers.com.au will be happy to look after you. Stay tuned for more announcements. -Steve Great day for our belated S1R1 event at Mt Ku-ring-gai. Fifty four riders and lots of smilng parents enjoyed some healthy competition and lots of good cheer. Congratulations to the Podium placers, and all riders. The riders elected Club Captains for the year. Congratuations to Sam, Lucy, Amy and Alex for stepping up to represent their mates. You can see them listed on the Awards page here. Photos from the day are in the Club’s photo gallery as usual, here. —Steve We’ve talked about introducing a new role for two of our senior riders to be elected by their peers to represent the other riders in 2021. Riders eligible to be nominated for Club Captain are those fully paid member riders in the 85cc and JBW classes, as at the first competition day of the calendar year. Up to two Club Captains may be nominated from the rider members of the Club and voted in by the rider members of the Club – one from each of 85cc and JBW classes. Club Captains may nominate themselves or be nominated by their peers. In the case of being nominated by their peers, they must accept nomination before a vote takes place. Club Captain responsibilities include:
If your rider is in JBW or 85cc, talk to them about the role of Club Captain and encourage them to nominate themselves, or nominate who they think would be a great Club Captain. We will ask for nominees during rider briefing, and once we have nominees from each of JBW and 85cc we will run a vote by show of hands to vote in the Captains. Cheers --Steve After this years' weather challenges, it was exciting to attend our first Minikhana competition event for 2021.
About 170 riders from five clubs came together for seven different Minikhana disciplines: Minicross; Footed Clover; Ring Return; Bending; Orange; Looping; and Accelerate Brake. See BHJMTC's results post here, and HJDBC photos here hjdbc.smugmug.com. Congratulations to all who medaled and/ or podiumed, and to those from Hornsby able to attend. And special mention to those attending their first Interclub; spread the word to other new members of the Hornsby family about how much fun Interclubs are. You now have two events in Ridernet to register for:
Plus, if you're interested in some great coaching for MiniCross, Michel from Racepace (www.racepace.com.au) is running a clinic on Sat 22 May that's open to all riders from all Minikhana classes 50cc and up. Book with Racepace direct, not though RiderNet, and not through HJDBC. Note for your planning that if you do attend RacePace, we have a Competition day the very next day, Sun 23 May. All dates in hjdbc.com.au/calendar. Lastly, one last reminder about the KICKSTART running this Sat 24 April.

Based on the smiles from riders and parents alike, our third practice day for the year was a success. Great weather; foggy as we drove in; clearing to a brilliant sunny day. About 52 riders honed their Minikhana skills in preparation for our first points day in two weeks time (tip: You can register for this now in Ridernet (link here).
Photos from the day are at hjdbc.smugmug.com as usual. Many thanks to Kelly Fraser for the Chocolate Brownies which were totally sold out from the canteen, to Dale, John and Jason for the food includng the great Burgers, for Kev Joyce for assisting you all to make the most of the carpark space we have, and to all the volunteers that make the day work, including all of the parents for helping us make the marshalling process do what it is supposed to do.
