What would you ask MNZ for?

[FROSTY:Me]

Given the heated discussion raised about Paul S leaving MNZ I wonder what the ROAD racers are expecting or possibly wanting from MNZ.
Also of course what support/assistance those behind the scenes at the various road race clubs around the country expect and hope for.

A way to communicate riders thoughts and ideas, with feedback.

[scrivy]

A general concensus of opinion from the riders with a democratic decision being made on the outcome.
From dates, to numbers of rounds, to types of classes present, to rules of classes, to entry fees, to promotion etc, etc.....
(As per http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...t=96822&page=3)

I have been involved in the NZ racing scene for over 22 years, and have never had any of my ideas or feedback taken onboard by the governing body. So, who are they asking for ideas? How are they making their assumptions on what we the riders want?

Communication is the key. LOTS of it!!
I don't wanna bag MNZ, but crisis time is upon us. Let's learn from the f@ck ups, and power forward under a common theme.

I, with that man

Communication is the big one. If I wasn't on kiwibiker I would have no Idea about what has happened regarding Paul Stewart. I'm kissing possible sponsors at the moment, If they get a wiff of this sort of uncertanty within the sport they wont come near me.

Im surprised Scrivy didnt raise this one. A speeding up of the processes. It currently takes many months to process a permit for a meeting & i have heard of permits only being issued a week out from a meeting. It is apparently illegal for a meeting to be advertised until the permit has been issued. If that protocol had been followed, i know of at least 3 or 4 awesome meetings that wouldnt have gone ahead.

[FROSTY:Me]

I for one would like to see coordination between the various bike clubs sorted out. To me its ludicrous that two clubs should hold meetings on the same weekend.
Also some clear division of funds Ie MX support comes from money raised from MX licences Money from road race licences goes to road race events. I know there will be an immediate reaction to that-being that when we applyfor our licences most of us go for an open licence letting us race road,mx or speedway if we choose. That might need some tightening up

Careful what you are suggesting.
There are probably 400- 500 Road Races and 4000 - 5000 Off- Road races (MX- Enduro- etc).

$250-00 per week to run the Road Race dept for them!

Best idea yet!!

Best idea yet!!

I could only gauantee 20 hours per week for that though, and that is still BLOODY cheap!

A clear accurate and total picture set of accounts from the Office at the AGM

Not saying theres anything underhand going on but in the format presented who would know?
An explaination as to why we need all these office staff or is it to satisfy the major membership sparc thinks we have

or maybe as a rider and mother of 3 other riders is there a point when all of us who belong to MNZ say Huntly there really is a problem and what is our duly elected Board doing except crisis management

As a rider i really fail to understand why so little is being done for riders and why so much money is being spent propping up an overstaffed and under acheiving office
Lets be honest here it doesnt matter how hard you work if your systems are inefficent.

So this family wants change at MNZ, I would ask MNZ What is the board going to do to improve the way the paid employees are alienating the Industry, the clubs and us the riders
