My child is ready for the next challenge, what is an Open?

Throughout the race calendar AusCycling will run an event hosted at a club in NSW, these are called “Opens or State Series”.
All riders from the state are invited to attend these events and they usually offer small prize money.
State racing runs from February through to October, finishing with the NSW State Championships.
National and International level racing is also available.

Who maintains the Lake Macquarie BMX Track?

The track is maintained by LMBMX Club, we rely on sponsors, canteen, fundraising and race entry money to cover track maintenance costs (soil, machinery etc), and volunteers to manpower.
The council does not assist us with any maintenance however we do occasionally receive grants and help from the local and state governments which help us maintain improve our facilities.
Before racing we kindly ask parents to arrive early and assist with track setup and event preparations.

Volunteers

The Club is run solely on volunteers, without the continued help of many members the events held at the track each week simply could not happen.
We need volunteers each week to help run racing, gate practice and to help out at track working bees.
Most roles are certainly not to challenging to take on, so please do not feel overwhelmed with the thought of offering help!
There are many different areas of help that members can offer their time for and full guidance for a volunteering role will be provided by another experienced club members.
To be a volunteer and assist at club events you need to:
