Warrnambool Mountain Bike Club is a Mountain Bike Australia affiliated club. All of our insurance coverage comes through our affiliation and a condition of this insurance is that we operate under the rules and regulations of the national body.

There are 2 memberships you must have to ride a Warrnambool Mountain Bike Club event.

1.      Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) membership, which provides you full insurance along with other benefits listed below. To purchase a MTBA membership you must be a member of a MTBA affiliated club (like ours)

2.      An MTBA affiliated club membership (not necessarily ours). 

We encourage everyone who participates in our events to join up as it will boost our numbers and strengthen our cause for trail access and trail building in the district.

Some of the benefits of joining MTBA include:

   - A national autonomous body for mountain biking

   - National series that is raced all over Australia

   - Cost effective membership

   - Well priced day membership fees

   - Rolling licenses (valid for 12 months from date of purchase)

   - Flexibility in membership types (recreational and competitive)

   - All money collected by MTBA is returned to mountain

     biking clubs and riders         

   - Component of national membership is directed back to assist in  

      state developement initiatives

   - Trails maintenance funding for states and clubs

   - Works to keep trails open for all riders  

   - All members can race all MTBA events nation wide (club,

     state series, state championships, national series, national

     championships)   

   - Day membership for all catagories and races which carry series

     points          

   - Each rider will receive a membership booklet and card

   - Works to promote the sport to the general public through its

     contact with the media

   - Markets the sport to sponsors and television

 

You can take out as many day membership permits as you like but there are some pretty good reasons why a full 12 month membership is better:

 

   - You get additional insurance coverage - income protection and 

     non-medicare cover - at sanctioned MTBA activities by being a

     full MTBA member.

   - You only have to fill in forms once every 12 months instead of

     at every event, saving you time and the club volunteer's time in

     administration.

   - $5 of every full MTBA membership goes towards a trail access

     fund.  This fund has helped to finance IMBA visits to Australia,

     attending Tracks & Trails Conference and lobbying Local and

     State Governments.

   - $7 (senior) and $5 (junior) of your full MTBA membership goes

     towards the State Development Fund (SDF).  In 2007 over

     $39,000 of SDF is available for developmental initiatives in

     Australia!

   - A full MTBA membership can be used at events held by any other

     affiliated MTBA club throughout Australia, including at state or

     national level. You can even accrue UCI points at selected  

     national level events!

   - Lastly, a full MTBA membership saves you money - for a junior if

     you participate in just 4 or more events or for a senior if you

     participate in only 5 or more events in 12 months you save!
