To VCM Register,
A Message from the VCM Committie:
NEXT RACE - Round 1, April 6th at Traralgon MX Track:
Hosted by East Malvern MCC. Please send in your completed entry form ASAP with payment for entry fee and a 1-day licence fee (if req'd). Note that you must use the current entry form which is attached below, and full payment must be sent with the completed form.
IMPORTANT NOTE: VCM POLICY ON RACE ENTRIES FOR 2014:
Starting from 2014 Round 1:
1) Pre-entries must be received by the Wednesday prior to the event and full payment must be included with the entry.
If either of these criteria is not met then the entry will not be considered as a valid pre-entry.
So when you turn up on the day there is no guarantee that a 1-day licence will be available for you to buy and you will have to pay the late entry fee.
2) Late Entry Fee, the base late entry fee for 2014 is set at $20, and may be higher at the discretion of the host club.
3) A Reminder that Current Ambulance Membership/Cover, Club Membership and VCM Registration are all mandatory. Proof of current memberships must be provided on during sign in on race day.
4) Race Cancellation, if it is determined that there are insufficient entries on the Monday proceeding an event then an email notification will be sent to all who are current on the VCM Register. The decision will be made on the Wednesday evening prior as to whether a race will proceed. If an event is cancelled then a notification email will be sent out, so please keep an eye on the email inbox that you have registered with the VCM for these important updates. Also, it is more important that ever that you keep the email address up to date that you have registered with the VCM.
VCM Registration for 2014:
For those who have not already done so, please re-register with VCM for 2014 season by completing the 2014 registration form (see attached) and posting it in with payment. By doing this you secure your Race Number for the 2014 season, and it is one of the eligibility requirements to enter the VCM Interclub Series races.

Exciting New Developments for VCM in 2014:
New VCM website for 2014 will be up soon. The VCM Committee have been working on development of a facility for Online Pre-entry to VCM races, including the option to pay your entry fees online. There are still a few hurdles to jump to get the online payment facility up and running. It will be well worth the effort as it will make life easier for all those involved in the VCM Interclub Series, especially race entrants. We are hopeful that it will be ready for Round 2 Pre-entries. An email will be sent out as soon as it is up and running.
New VCM Logo for 2014. Jerry has been working on an updated logo and the development of Promotional Posters, Stickers and Merchandise. I've seen a preliminary version of the promotional poster and it looks great!
VCM Newsletter format is being re-vamped for 2014 to include the new Logo. Also, from this year we will be emailing you a link which you can click on to access the newsletter from the VCM website. This change is important because it will stop the VCM Newsletter emails from filling up the space in your email inbox. It will also allow us to increase the size of the newsletter if necessary to make it look better with more pictures and potentially other content.
Good luck and we hope to see you all at the VCM races this year!
THE 2014 VCM COMMITTEE.
