Kris and I plan on having NSWR affiliated with the Motorcycle Council of NSW.
Membership is open to all clubs, associations and ride groups but not to individuals. Each affiliated club has two delegate seats on the MCC. Membership is free and voluntary
They have a meeting on Monday night at Ryde. Rudi and I plan to be there and gather information. Does this sort of affiliation interest you and SVR? Any exposure you gain for SVR is good exposure.
But who are they ?
The Motorcycle Council of NSW Inc. (MCC of NSW) is an internationally recognised umbrella group for motorcycle clubs, associations and ride groups, in the state of New South Wales, Commonwealth of Australia.
Established in 1982, the MCC of NSW is the peak body for motorcycling in this state. It represents over 41 clubs, with more than 36,000 riders.
The MCC of NSW Committee includes: Scott (Chairman), Rob (Vice Chairman), Ray (Treasurer), Christine (Secretary), Brian (Chair of Road Safety), Bruce, Guy, John & Steve (General Committee).
What do we do for you?
We lobby locally, nationally and internationally for motorcycle riders' rights. We promote motorcycling and the interests of motorcyclists.
Some issues include:
Road safety
Legislation
Crash barriers
Parking
Tolling
Exhaust Labelling
CTP Insurance
How does the MCC work?
The MCC is run along democratic lines. Member clubs raise issues from their own meetings via their delegates. These items are placed on the agenda of the MCC. The decision on whether an issue will be taken up or not is determined by a vote of the delegates.
Next meeting to be held Monday 7:30pm, April 12th, 2010.
Normally, first Monday of the month, but not on a Public Holiday Monday, so it moves forward to the second Monday
