|
|
1. Volunteers needed for Bathurst (This is the only source of income the MCC gets). Sat 29th Sep to 7th October. You get free campling, per diem for food and the chance to show people to their camp sites on quad bikes. You will also get to see the races. COntact Ray at mcc nsw via phone - (02) 9615 9605 or enquiries@mccofnsw.org.au
2. Since change of Govt, MCC has built up good relationships with Transport NSW, RMS and the ministers - this is starting to pay off.
3. Still working on more CTP reductions.
4. Working on Toll reductions - agreement in principle reached.
5. Some possible good news about helmets to be released soon - hopefully will allow international standard helmets to be legally worn in OZ. (i.e DOT, Schnell, UK, Europe etc) - Being able to import them will mean some helmets which are not even in this country will become legal and should drop the price of all helmets.
6. Old Pacific highway audit. Send any info you have on hazards to chairman@mccofnsw.org.au
7. MCC has made submittion to transport master plan. Item 1 is for Motorcycles to be recognised as a seperate road user class!
More in MCC Newsletter(s) - see http://www.mccofnsw.org.au/a/326.html

Would be good if there was someone here interested in going and reporting back regular.
I hate meetings and avoid like the plague, but more than happy to provide my support for protests etc. And there is a good number of regular bike enthusiasts here to also support such things.
Most times I find out at the last minute or after the event!
MCC were succesfull in reducing greenslip costs, which must have surprised a few I reckon.
Go on go for it. You know you wanna
Doubt if can help for the bathurst event tho Stan as wont get that much time _________________ http://www.ratscafe.org

In that Prickle from the old ratbags has written to MCCNSW requesting ratbags link from MCC page (which actually pointed to triumphrat.net) be removed, at this stage Davo and myself are no longer delegates to the MCC NSW.
If you wish either of us - or any other delegates to go to the meeting (and remain on delegates email list), ratscafe would have to request membership.
Process doesn't hurt much and is quite simple.
1. Decide if you want to join - I suggest a poll.
2. If Poll successful draft letter to MCC listing your delegates, poll results, brief overview of ratscafe etc - best to have three delegates so you get good coverage.

Would be happy enough to request membership under Rats downunder www.ratsdownunder.org as opposed to Rats cafe
We have that name also, and would avoid ratsCafe being seen as a club with membership.
whats others views ? and can I leave it up to you to compose letter of request ?
If this does happen it may be easier if I make you Mod of this section rather than Nixie. _________________ www.ratscafe.org

No probs Dave.
