For many years, the Wellington Mountain Bike club has been a Downhill dedicated Mountain Bike club running several races and shuttle days throughout the year.

In the past we have been largely focused on advancing the Long Gully tracks. Because of this, we have had to limit membership numbers due to restrictions from the landowners.

The club is taking a new direction and we have decided that we would like to expand the club, and change its goals. We would like to provide a club structure to some of the less supported areas of riding with similar interests, such as 4X, dual slalom and dirt jumping. Basically we would be trying to further the more technical aspects of mountain biking in Wellington.

We have come to the conclusion that we need to raise the profile of the club, and promote ourselves more in order to create our own database of like-minded riders. We are also working to provide reasons for people to become members of our club. This increases our contact database, giving us more reach in the community when we want people to come to our events but also to assist us with these projects. Hopefully with more people involved in the club we will be able run more events.

In order to do this successfully we have decided to divide the current membership into two separate fee’s:

Wellington Mountain Bike Club (WMTBC)

For the low sum of  $15 you can be a paid up member and be part of a growing network of like mined riders that want their riding to be challenged more than the average punter.

Being a member will mean you will be on our data base and will you will recivie regular newsletters inviting you to events ,dig days ,and any other relivant information we feel you should know about.

Being a member means you will alos be entitled to:

• MTBNZ affiliation (for race licenses)
• Discounts at club events (must be presented)

All members will be issued with their own numbered card. Our sponsors will be given the opportunity offer members only discounts in the newsletters.

However simply being a paid member of the WMTBC will no longer permit you access to ride in Long Gully. You will now need to become a Long Gully Supporter.(see below)

Long Gully Supporters (need to also be a club member – see above)

If you want to ride in long gully, be a passenger shuttling in a private vehicle or drive your own 4wd on the property you will need to become a Long Gully Supporter.

You will be given a colored tag that will need to be able to be identified by property owners and other members so we can all see you have been given permission to be there, know the rules and are contributing to the costs of keeping the trails open.

This is also about signing a disclaimer the property owner asks for.

$15 of this fee will go strait to the property owner and contribute towards the $2000 the club aim to come up with every year (events included) to cover the financial impact our members create when using the property.
