Ian Milton thanked Dave Vincent for the great job on the QEMSC web site revamp.

 

Ian M – re changes in 2009 MOMS 16.4.3.1- which now means that all Historic bikes MUST be fitted with a silencer despite their actual noise measurement.

Ian M re Lakeside: Ian has been to the track – reported a good resurfacing job, straight widened (so kink is now not so sharp), lots of fill in The Carousel so that run off area is now not downhill. New media centre, medical centre, tower, museum/coffee shop & venue for weddings/functions etc.
John Tetley is hoping for a car event in May 09.
For bikes – Sprints on Wed mornings.
Tetley is concerned with $15,000 insurance which needs to be found before bike racing can commence.

Seconded : John Downs.
