MOTORSAFE INFO NIGHT NEXT WEDNESDAY

IN 2012 Motorcycling Victoria's MotorSafe Program will be out in force - working for clubs - by presenting the program to thousands of school students across the state, along with the goal to grow your club.

The MotorSafe Program not only educates children on motorcycle safety but also provides parents and students an understanding of the incredible benefits of being involved with a motorcycle club.

This year the focus of the MotorSafe Program has shifted towards MV's affiliated-clubs. In previous years, schools and students have been easily accessible to MotorSafe, but the club aspect of the program has been lacking. With MV's new MotorSafe Officer joining the team, Ms Misty Walton, more than seven clubs have already committed to the MotorSafe Program, by fostering closer working relationships, and the future is looking bright.

As plans are now building towards greater club involvement in 2013, MV would like to invite club delegates to our office in Port Melbourne for a MotorSafe Program Information Night on Wednesday, August 1 at 7.30pm.

The night will present a great chance to meet the new MotorSafe team, including the two new MotorSafe Presenters, as well as to discuss ideas about the program, highlight the program's benefits and the great opportunities on offer for your club, such as gaining new members, as direct result of being involved in the MotorSafe Program.

The two new MotorSafe Presenters, Darren Pay and Anthony Wolfe, and the MotorSafe Officer Misty Walton, will be there to answer questions, provide information and show clubs a short presentation on the newly-redeveloped MotorSafe Program.

On the night we will be also offering dates for clubs to be hosting Mini Licence Sessions for next year, and it is strongly suggested that prior to the night you discuss possible dates with committee members to ensure that you do not miss out on this great opportunity!

Some drinks and nibbles will also be provided on the night.

If you or any other member of your club would be interested in attending, please email Misty Walton at motorsafe@motorcyclingvic.com.au to confirm your attendance.

MotorSafe Program Information Night
When: Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 7.30pm
Where: Motorcycling Victoria
9/125 Hall Street, Port Melbourne
Who: MotorSafe Officer, Ms Misty Walton, and MotorSafe Presenters Darren Pay and Anthony Wolfe

          Open Age International Event

          (can be within Australia or overseas)

MV CLUB CASE STUDIES - NO.3: RECREATIONAL LICENCE

AS part of a new initiative to grow motorcycle sport in 2012, Motorcycling Victoria will share worthwhile club information in the form of Club Case Studies.

These case studies will highlight the best practices for a number of club activities in an effort to make Victorian clubs even better.

MV's second Club Case Study is on how to successfully upsell Annual Recreational Licenses for your club.

Annual Recreational Licenses are a perfect way for newcomers to enter the sport, are value-for-money, and is an effective way to get them to commit to the club.
