Norwich Regional, BC Memberships & Ipswich @ Royston
Hi,
The 09 BMX racing season kicks off this coming weekend with the first of the E.A. Inter-regionals at Derby. The track has been recently re-vamped and I’m pleased to say they’ve made an awsome job of it!
Norwich Regional Race April 5th
For those of you that have not raced before here are a few pointers. .
You will need to be at the track to register to race before 11.am. Registration will be held at the Norwich Flyers gazeebo.
It costs £8.00 for experts and £5.00 for novices.
You will need to bring all neccesary safety equipment, the club has full face helmets and numberplates that we can lend to you if needed.
All under 16’s wishing to race should be accompanied by and Adult/Guardian.
British Cycling Memberships
If you intend to race ANY of the summer regional rounds this year (including the Norwich Regional on April 5th) at any level other than novice you will require a British Cycling silver membership. Unlike previous years if you donot have a memebership you won’t be allowed to race
Obtaining a membership is easy and usually free of charge (it’s totally free to the under 16’s and we can get a discounted rate for the older club members) Go to British Cycling’s Membership page and fill out the form here> http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/web/site/BC/bcf/membership_type_check.asp (click on the Club Member button and then proceed)
Remember if you are only intending to race at regional level you only need a sliver membership (if you plan to race at National level then you will be requiring a race license as well).
Please remember to put yourself down as a member of Norwich Flyers BMX club.
If all this is too confusing (I’m a bit mystified myself!) please give me a ring on 07917274185 and I will sort it all out for you. Do it soon though as the race is drawing near and we don’t want anybody to be disappointed.
Ipswich Winter regional @ Royston
As mentioned in my previous post the cancelled Ipswich Regional has been re-scheduled for Sunday March 29th. The race has also been moved to the Royston track.Just to add to the confusion a little more, with this being a winter not a Summer round you will not be required to hold a British Cycling Membership to race this event!
