New road racing commissioner required

[Shaun Harris]

I think they way you mention it, and the way Budda said he ran it with a multi person commission is a good way to do it, I still think you need a head of that commission as well,

Also i think the board should have very little to do with the running of road racing, thats not their job, its the job of the road race comission,

Bang on Scott I see it that way also. Hence my suggestion for 3 commissioners to manage it effectively

I would think 3 would not be enough, remember this commisioner overseas all road racing, not just the NZ champs, so classics, post classics, buckets, super motard, street racing, etc etc,

I can only base my suggestions upon the current structure Scott, and one man has done it well.

Why would anyone want this position if they will not have the support of their own governing body.
MNZ needs a clean out! But replacing Billy is completely absurd. The way a few competitors have managed to undermine the systems put in place to protect our sport for all members is staggering.
Winning appeals on minor legal technicalities needs sorting too. Getting away with breaking rules because the notification was not on the right form for example, is the kind of loopholes we need to close. Sad days for motorcycle sport.

BRAVO

[vickib]

Appeal results just posted,, as expected. How many balls were dropped and by whom? Does anyone care anymore? History repeating itself and a burgeoning class facing a loss of credibility. Is an EJC style class where the bikes are provided the only possible way to level the class to riders ability? Is a NZ Motorcycle Championship worth what it once was?

agree with you. Wise words

...could somebody that gets a position in this pseudo kb ghost structure steering committee that is already getting sillier than the shambles they are shadowing, let the 85% of MNZ fee paying members that just want to have a day out with their mates or tussle at a localised street meeting and not put too much time or effort into even thinking about national competitions, let them know what you all come up with and spend their money on...and shit...thanks...

Sadly Neil, I doubt whether they will. Communication skills have never been a part of the job description.

Personally, i think the system would run better if all communications to and from MNZ had to be carved in stone tablets....

85% of fee paying members,Oh you need to be talking to the motorcross commissioner and when you do,See if you can do it to his face.

Why's that Greg,Cause we didnt ring you every night and fill you in on the days events? Don't remember too many people complaining about the lack of response from this commissioner,I would have thought somebody with your experience would have understood just how big the job is,If you want to know the truth,The bulk of the problems are caused by the people who stick their hand up for jobs at club AGM's,That don't have a clue how to actually do the job they secure and get NO training from the club,Seriously the amount of needless work the commissioner has to deal with because the club official only did half of theirs is mind boggling.

I quite agree - i too have been stuck with keeping a club going with people who didn't know the first thing about it...Or at one memorable club AGM, appointing a referee to stop a mass fistfight....

My suggestion of stone tablets was to reduce the problems...
It would discorage irrelevant correspondence
It would discourage questions which could be answered by referring to the rulebook.
it would encourage brevity in both question and answer
The tablets - if a standard size - would be recyclable. Either as a defensive wall for headquarters or to build a bunker...
At AGM's used correspondence could be provided for the purpose of stoning rejected officials.

Alas it's just a pipedream.

This should be a paid job, just my 2c. There are probably a number of people would could fill this position well, but the hours involved should make it a job with financial benefit.

And how many paid office staff are there these days to stamp licenses basically- it really is a seriously screwed up Club that does not operate to it's own quoted agenda of growing sport hahaha Yea write

Time for a series not run in any way by a company called MNZ

[Shaun Harris]
