PMBC helps Holly get to the Worlds with $1000
The PMBC committee have voted to donate $1000 to the Baarspul family to help them out financially to get Holly to the World Championships. These are to be held at the begining of September in Mont Saint Anne in Canada.
Holly will be representing WA (and Australia) along with Mitch Delfs and possibly Sam Hill if his injuries have healed enough by then.
PMBC wish them the very best of luck, especially Holly as our only non pro riding from WA.

NATIONAL Round in WA = Update
Thank you to all the kind people who have volnteered to help with the proposed National round to be held in WA. We have compiled a file of interested people and will be back in touch when we have secured a National Round.
It has been decided to apply for a National Round to be part of the 2011 calendar, as getting it organized this year was simply not enough time.
If you feel you would like to be one of the "major organizers" of this event, please send me your contact details. We need 5 key people to head up and run, XCO (normal Olympic XC Format), DH, 4X and XCC (short course XC)and a general manager to look over all of these classes.
Thanks, tonymtb@bigpond.com
We have the opportunity to host a NATIONAL Round (XCO, XCC, DH, 4X) here in WA in November this year. And, the ball sits firmly in our court as to whether we get it or not.

Turner Hill Vandalism
Unfortunately the Gazebo at Turner Hill mountain bike trail has been vandalised beyond repair and has now been removed by DEC. If anyone has seen any suspicious behavior over the past two weeks, can you pass this information on to Clinton Hull at DEC via email. clinton.hull@dec.wa.gov.au.
DEC will be installing bollards and new parking areas to hopefully protect the toilet and surrounding bush from furthur vandalism.
This new work will begin on Wednesday the 30th June and will take approx. 3 days to complete, this involves installing a 3 car bay near the old rotunda site and bollarding off the rest of the area in front and surrounding this. If riding in the area over the course of next week please be mindful of our DEC work crew and park your vehicles in the large event parking area near the pine mulch barrier, this area will also be leveled out to accommodate the ever increasing event parking.
Thanks for your cooperation
