March 2011 ACU Rules!!!
Fire extinguishers are required at any motocross event. Please make sure that you have yours in the van when the safety officer comes round. If you have no fire extinguisher in your van then you can be sent home without racing.
Another safety measure which is not being adhered to: Riding in the paddock will not be tolerated. Please make sure you push your bike to and from scruitineering and to and from the finish line.
These rules are in the ACU Rule book and can mean you get sent home without racing. Please read your handbook!!

2010 Schoolboy Championship
The Schoolboy Championshp this year will only consist of six rounds and one round will be dropped as usual. (The March event was cancelled due to snow). It has been difficult to try to get another round slotted in to the motocross calendar. The only available date would be the 12th December and we cannot guarantee that the weather would allow us to run that day, also as most riders will want their 2011 championship numbers allocated before Christmas it was decided by the Committee that this would not be possible if a seventh round was run in December.
As last year's trophy presentation at Jurby Parish Hall was a success, the Committee has decided that the 2010 Trophy Presentation will be held at Jurby Parish Hall again on Sunday 16th January 2011 after a practice day at Ballagaraghyn. All parents are asked to contribute to .the day Further details will be posted later in the year.
