RUAPUNA 2014 – 2015 SEASON NOW OVER
Once again Motorcycling Canterbury has had a successful racing season at Ruapuna. The King of
Ruapuna series finished on March 29 – this was also the end of the King of Canterbury series. The
Endurance Race held today was the final for the season at Ruapuna; the results for the day are
attached. Trophies will be given out at Levels.
The New Zealand Grand Prix was held in conjunction with round one of the NZSBK Championship in
January – thank you to all the club riders, helpers and sponsors. We also had the opportunity to run
the final round of NZSBK at Taupo – a wonderful track in a great location. Again, thank you to all
who made this meeting a success.
The first round of King of Levels and the start of the 2015 – 2016 King of Canterbury will be on May
16. We hope you can all support our meetings at Timaru.
MOTORCYCLING NEW ZEALAND AGM
The AGM is being held in Queenstown this year, 22-24 May. Dennis Charlett will be our delegate
and Aaron Shral, Angela Charlett, Bill Hoogenboezem, John Hecker and Geoff Cain, our observers.
If there is anything you would like discussed at the workshops, please ring one of our representatives.

CLUB MEMBER BEHAVIOUR
Club members are reminded if they have an issue with the club or one of its members, please
approach the rider representative for the day or one of the committee in the first instance.
Social media is not the forum to voice your concerns, and abuse via social media is not acceptable.
This just brings the sport of motorcycling into disrepute.
The MNZ handbook contains a rule concerning rider conduct, both on and off the track.
Remember the onus is on the overtaking rider to take care and pass safely.
MOTORCYCLING CANTERBURY AGM
The club’s annual general meeting is to be held in the Ruapuna clubrooms, 7.30pm on Wednesday
27th May.
This is your opportunity to nominate and choose those to be on the committee for the next year as
well as to discuss what is important to you about the running of the club.
Meet at the clubrooms 7.00pm – drinks and nibbles will be provided.
WET MEETINGS
Just a reminder riders need to have a working red light attached to the back of their machine in the
event the meeting is declared wet. No light; no ride.
You also need to have a fire extinguisher in your pit
SUBSCRIPTIONS DUE
Current subscriptions expire on 31 May 2015. A membership form is attached or you may complete
registration online at www.mci.net.nz
You must complete your club membership before you can get a new season’s race licence.
