Just in time for the 2019 Easter weekend, our “new” carpark is finished and open for business.
Whilst technically it is not new, it has been significantly reshaped and rebuilt by Rick Kehoe and his trusty crew, including our DH Coordinator Coleen, their faithful mutts and a few other Club Members, to increase the capacity and improve safety in the Park.
We will provide a more detailed report to update the Awaba MTB Park project soon, but for now get out there and enjoy the cracking weather!

Next committee meeting is on the third Monday of the month (15th April 2019 then 20th May 2019) – Club Macquarie, Argenton. All welcome. Arrive at 6.00pm for dinner and robust discussion about bikes, trails and personal exploits in the Club Macquarie Bistro prior to the 7.15 pm meeting.
New members especially welcome to come and have an impact on the development of Mountain Biking in the Hunter region and surrounds.
With a change of timing systems throughout the year the collation of the pointscore for the 2018 XC season has been even more complicated than in previous years – a big thanks to Steve and Clint for getting this together.
The winners of the pointscore is open to full club members only.
The pointscore is based on the 9 races that took place throughout 2018, including the “normal” Sunday races and the 3 hour “endurance” events.
Where a rider has changed grades throughout the year, for the purpose of the pointscore, they have been placed in the grade in which they completed the most races. They have received points for each race completed the old grade equal to the average points achieved in the new grade.
Riders must have competed in at least 4 races to be eligible.

Hunter Mountain Bike Association will be holding its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at Awaba Mountain Bike Park on Sunday March 17th 2019 at 9.30am. The AGM will be held on the combined DH and XC club race day, with the usual XC race start time to be delayed until 10.00am.
The AGM is important for all of us to ensure that there is an active and effective committee representing the wishes of the Club Members. We sometimes have an issue with getting enough members along to hold a “proper” AGM, so we encourage you to make the effort and be involved. As part of the meeting we will be speaking about what we have achieved over the past year and looking forward to what we want to achieve over the next 12 months. If you want to have a say in the future direction of the club, whether it be racing, trail development, social rides, other events, please come along and have a voice.
We’ll also be electing our executive committee for the new year, so if you want to get more involved, or have a say in who makes the decisions for the club, this is your chance! Don’t worry, you wont be coerced into a role if you really don’t want to as most of the current committee are happy to continue in their current roles.
Apart from the executive positions, there are general committee positions that you don’t need to be elected into, just turn up at our monthly meetings.
