WBMCC

In addition to remembering to pay your BRCA membership fee before racing at WBMCC in 2010 (see the news article below), you will also need to check the latest rules for the class that you race in. We have introduced some rule changes to keep the racing competitive and in response to some requests from club members.

A full list of the rules for each class is available in the Racing section of the website, but a summary of the changes for each class is as follows:

• Off-road – we will split the 2WD & 4WD results (but retain mixed heats)
• Mini – 27T brushed/13.5 brushless motor limit, standard kit gearbox only, friction shocks only, “R” chassis cars are not permitted, no ball diffs allowed
• Stock touring – no rule changes
• Outlaw – no rule changes, but this will now be recognised as a formal championship.

Remember, Round 1 of the new championship starts this Friday, 8th January.

Racing starts back again this friday at West Bridgford Model Car Club.  doors open at 6pm with racing underway as soon as possible.  Remember it is important that you pre-book as it helps us get the race meeting underway as quickly as possible. for more information about pre-booking click on the racing link and then selecte the pre-booking pages on this website.

 

BRCA membership

The BRCA membership post i put out before christmas was slightly wrong and in fact 2009 BRCA membership expired on the 31st of December 2009 and not the 31st of January as stated.  Paul Nutten, Wbmcc secretary has sent an e-mail out to all the members he has e-mail addresses for. but for those of you who haven't recieved it, it reads as follows:-

Hi everyone & Happy New Year to you all.

The purpose of this email is to inform you about the requirements for BRCA membership for all drivers racing at WBMCC in 2010.

All 2009 BRCA licenses have now expired. Therefore, unless you have re-joined the BRCA for 2010, you are no longer insured against injury to 3rd parties in the event of an accident involving your RC car at a BRCA sanctioned event. Given that WBMCC is affiliated to the BRCA, we require all drivers racing at the club to be BRCA members. Therefore if you have not yet joined the BRCA for 2010 through WBMCC, through another club or as an individual, then with immediate effect we require you to provide your £13 BRCA membership fee before you will be permitted to race at WBMCC in 2010. We will then enroll you in the BRCA and provide you with your membership card. You will need to pay your BRCA membership fee before the start of the WBMCC meeting at which you intend to race.

In summary, no BRCA membership = no racing at WBMCC.

Your £13 WBMCC club membership is separate to the BRCA membership. Until this is received, you will be required to pay the Non-member race fee, which is now £6 for 2010 compared to the Racing Member race fee which is now only £3 for 2010.

I hope this is clear for you all, if you have any questions, please let me know by reply. Please also inform your friends so that everyone is aware of these requirements.

Paul Nutten

WBMCC Secretary.

 

Series 2 has now ended and congratulations to our new champions, Adam Crossland in Outlaw, Paul Nutten in off-road, Chris Gresham in Mini and Richard Smith in Stock.

Series 3 will start on January 8th.  Same classes but now 2wd and 4wd off-road vehicles will be seperated out into championships.

On the 31st of January your club membership will expire, including your BRCA membership.  It is therefore important to get your membership renewed before this date.  A membership form is availiable to downloadfrom this website.  Just click on the about the club link on the main menu and navigate to the becoming a member page.

Remember it is important that you renew your BRCA membership before you can race at the club, the three races before you have to provide proof of insurance only applies to newcomers to the sport so you have to have applied for BRCA membership renewal before you can race at the club.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all our members.
