ANOTHER FUN DAY AT THE PARK

We had around 30 people turn up  the AGM.  The obligitory formalities including our financial report and membership no.s.. to which it was announced that we are the largest Regional club in Queensland now, which is great news for all involved and our Financial Status is quite healthy as well.  We then went on to discuss and vote for the new committee members for both new and old positions that had to be filled.
It is my distinct pleasure to announce that the following positions have been filled, these include;
President.  Mr. Dave Whilhelmi
Vice President.  Miss Donna Roche
Secretary.  Mr Rob Aitken
Treasurer.  Mr Nigel Copeland
Track Committee.  Mr  Iain Masters
Land Access Cordinator.  Mr. Craig Larsen
Social Ride Cordinator.  Mr Noel Logan
Web Site Administrator. Mr.  Arthur Borghero
As yet we have had no nominations for Event Cordinator, Development Officer and Media/promotions,  However there will no doubt be members who will be able to unofficially participate in these roles.(anyone who would like to join the committee by taking up one of the positions available)

Members of MAD, be proud of your achievements, Today’s open day was a fantastic success.  With sooo many people attending, there must have been at least fifty cars at the grounds.  Many new faces turned up, some with their whole families in tow, all on bikes, ready to try the new tracks that we all worked so hard to build, an effort that could not have been possible without the following people;
Pip Paki Paki-  Mad extends it’s most sincere message of thanks to you for your time and effort in helping to create what would have been a near impossible task without your expertise and willingness to help our club establish our club  ”Dream”  We cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done out of your own time. WORD UP MAN.
 Mad also extends its appreciation to the following sponsors ,
FIELD ENGINEERS, FIELD EMISSIONS, MACS ENDINEERING,HASTINGS DEERING, ONE STEEL, MACKAY TOYOTA, ROCK N ROAD CYCLES, CORRY CYCLES, ROCLA,TEMONO.COM
Track Committee-  Iain Masters and Craig Larsen, every weekend, sometimes weekdays all that time, all that effort.  Great dedication to MAD and it’s members.  Every one agrees that the design of the track is exactly what we needed to bring MTB to Mackay and ….

Hi everyone, sorry about “War and Peace” but:
I’ve had a phone call from Barry Spratt (Caretaker) of Rowallan Park explaining that following the recent upgrading of the access road we need to be conscious of the maximum speed limit of 30 KLM/Hour between the bitumen and front gate to the park.  Please be conscious of this speed limit so as not to antagonise the property owners along the easement, note the access road is an easement, NOT A PUBLIC ROAD.
Also a flag has been set up at the Eagle Camp turn-off, please ensure that the flag is “posted” so that Barry is aware of your presence at the park (we no longer have to announce our arrival in person…..apparently we where driving him MAD, how appropriate JJ).  On your departure of the park, providing you are the last person to do so, then the flag should be taken down.  SO:  Flag up when you arrive, Flag down when you leave unless someone else is out.
Additional to the above we will also have a white board set-up at the flag, the idea being that you raise ….
