Join WAMBA, in conjunction with the Calamunnda Camel Farm, AvantiPlus Cannington and Cycle Instead BikeWeek, at the official opening of the Kalamunda Circuit trail, to be held at the Calamunnda Camel Farm, Paulls Valley Rd, nr Kalamunda (click here for directions) on Saturday 24th March.

As well as officially opening the trail at 1130, we will be organising a variety of activities throughout the morning including beginner skills clinics, mechanics sessions and guided rides. There are still some places left on these activiities see the WAMBA website for more details on how to register.

Upon completion of the morning rides and clinics we will be officially cutting the ribbon and opening the Kalamunda Circuit. This will be followed by a complementary sausage sizzle.

WAMBA AGM

Following the Kalamunda Circuit trail opening at 1230 on 24th March, WAMBA will be holding their AGM at the Camel Farm.

Here is a little more information about what being on the committe entails:

There is no minimum commitment of time. Do what you can. Do what you want.

We hold approx 10 meetings a year. Historically these have been on Tuesday evenings at the DSR in Leederville and last around 2 hours. You do not have to attend every meeting. We have experimented with using skype to talk with committee members who don’t live in Perth, but with mixed results.

All positions will be open for election at the AGM but we definitely need:

Vice-President – may have to stand in for the President at some meetings but other than that no responsibilities greater than that of a general committee member.

Treasurer – we have relatively few transactions. Most are dealt with by Register Now online payments.

General committee members – Could get involved with writing grant applications, liaising with landowners (DEC), coordinating a state series, fund raising and raising awareness at events and races, seeking funding from industry, anything else you want (organise social events/rides? merchandise? other fundraisers?)

It would be awesome to have someone on the committee who is passionate about Langford Park, Jarrahdale, and would like to take responsibility for there. Likewise the Goat Farm.

You do not need to live in Perth to be on the committee. It would be great if WAMBA were to represent more of the state. If you can’t make the AGM please send your nomination in by email.

Hope to see lots of you at 1230 on the 24th at the Camel Farm.
