We run MA/MV sanctioned practices with the full backing of their insurance. They
are fully supervised with licenced officials, level 2 first aid people &
level 1 coaches available at most for Junior 5 hour licence training & for the
"Kickstart Program" for first timers wanting a licence. We DO NOT have
an "Open Key Policy". Members receive SMS
messages to inform when they are on and we will be introducing a "Practice
Calendar" on this site in the near future. To practice at Monza you either can
pay a yearly fee of $75 which covers ALL riders covered in your membership. I.E. In a family membership,
Mum, Dad and all the kids ride for a one off $75 for the year or "Pay as you go" which is $15 per rider, per practice session . The yearly fee does not
have to be paid at the time of joining or renewing, it can be paid anytime but you will be charged the "Pay as you go" fee until you do. (Non Refundable). You need at least a Rec licence to practice. One day Rec licences are available for
$20 on the day or a yearly one from MV for $85.50
|
We have several Level 1 trained coaches within the club and they
offer their services free of charge to members for the "Kickstart Program" for
first timers wanting a licence and for the compulsory 5 hours training needed
each year for Juniors to renew their licence.
