ClUB TRAiNiNG SUBSiDY

BMWMCQ TRAINING COURSE SUBSIDY

Your club encourages all members to continue to improve as a rider and offers a financial incentive to foster greater uptake in rider training. A broad interpretation of training has been adopted to include First Aid Training and Traffic Accident site safety management. The intention of the subsidy scheme is to not only improve the road craft of individual members but also to enhance the safety and enjoyment of club runs and events for all participating members.

These are the simple rules to qualify for a subsidy:

1. Every financial member is eligible. 2. Subsidy is limited to one in three years for each member eg subsidy February 2022 re-eligible

February 2025. 3. Subsidy provided in the form of a $50 reimbursement after course has been completed and invoice presented to the Treasurer. 4. The applicant must present details and receive approval for the intended training course from the Club Secretary prior to the course being undertaken.

There you have it, an incentive to help to make you a better and safer rider. If you undertake a course please let us know your thoughts on the success of the course, positive or negative.

We find a very enjoyable podcast for a long car trip is Adventure Rider Radio, in particular the Rider Skills episodes. The highly experienced and knowledgable Clinton Smout an Ontario based motorbike (and snowmobile!) trainer gives great tips and advice - link to one such episode is below:
