Club Captains

​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:

• Presenting medals and awards at competition events (Club and Interclub)
• Speaking during riders’ briefings and end of day presentations
• Representing the Club in public forums (eg Newspaper  or magazine articles, website, etc)
• Engaging with prospective new members when they visit the Club
• Engaging with new rider members and finding a “buddy” from the experienced riders, or being a guide for new riders and making them feel welcome to the Club.

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
