Eastfield BMX club is proud to hold the 2009 Victorian State Championships
As most of you know we have been working hard to prepare our track for an inspection from BMXV prior to them approving us holding the States Titles in November this year.  This inspection was held yesterday and we have been approved…
BUT we still have a LOT of work that needs to be done to make our track and surrounding areas suitable to run this event.   We are holding working bees most weekends – including this weekend so please come and lend a hand.

Bayswater Bucks Program:  The Eastfield BMX Club has registered with “The Good Guys – Bayswater” to be part of the Bayswater Bucks Program.  Every time an Eastfield member, family or friend purchases an item of $25.00 or more from The Good Guys and mentions the “Bayswater Bucks Program” and the “Eastfield BMX Club” you will receive a card with the amount of “Bucks” you have earned for our club (these cards are to be passed on to Yvonne Lyon).  So please tell everyone you know about this program and do not forget to mention “Eastfield BMX Club” when you next purchase something from “The Good Guys – Bayswater (next to Spotlight).

 

Working bees will be held every saturday to get the track ready for states - the more people that are there the quicker the track will be ready
