WORK DAY REMINDERS
It's always a good
idea to clarify Work Day obligations and responsibilities each year, both for
new and existing members. Your Work Day is one of the most important
membership obligations with Steel City Riders.
As a part of your
SCR membership, it is required that every individual member 8 years of age or
older as of January 1st of the seasons calendar year must have a mandatory Work
Day completed during the season.
Not only does this one-day
obligation allow us to keep our membership fees affordable, but it also allows
members to be an active part of this organization. Get out there to see how the
club operates, have some fun and enjoy some racing!
A Work Day
typically consists of flagging at a race. Flaggers must be 14 years of age or
older. Parents (or self-arranged fill in) of minors, too young to flag, will have
to complete the Work Day for their children. If you have a family of 4 members,
4 Work Days are required. During online registration, you are required to
select a day from what's available. These are first come first serve. A Work
Day is an obligation of membership. If you can't commit to a Work Day, SCR may
not be the club for you. If you register and the only Work Days available are
away races, that means that others have registered before you and those Work
Days are no longer available. All first-year members will be required to
complete their Work Day at a non-home track event.
It is the sole
responsibility of each member to complete their selected Work Day. If you are unable to do so, it is your
responsibility to make sure that someone is there to cover the day on your
behalf. Anyone 14 years of age or older, who has done their flagger training
through the online video tutorial can fill in. It is your responsibility to
ensure your fill in signs in on your behalf when they arrive for worker
registration.
If you find you are
unable to complete your selected Work Day, it is your responsibility to
find a suitable replacement. If you wish to email us the name of who we can
expect in your place, that courtesy is appreciated. Please DO NOT email
to advise you won't be attending and expect us to find you a replacement. Anyone
who fails to show for their Work Day or does not arrange a fill in will have
their membership privileges immediately suspended, with no option to renew for
future seasons.
Our priority is
safety. We depend on each of our members to fulfill their required Work Day on
the date they selected during their membership application. Our events are run
solely by volunteers and without the required numbers we expect to attend each
round, it makes it very difficult to safely run an event as scheduled. This is
why we have such a strict policy about members fulfilling their required Work
Day as scheduled.
Lastly, should you
find yourself in a position where you cannot attend your Work Day, we can offer
the following suggestions:
- Attempt to trade a Work Day with another member who is scheduled on a
different day
- Attempt to find someone who may do a 'Paid' Work Day. Social media
seems to be the best route to find people willing to do this. SCR is not involved in any arrangements
made, including how much someone is asking to be paid or method of
payment. Also keep in mind, these Work
Days can be 10 hours in length, and often require travel time and costs,
so keep it fair.
- As a very last resort, we occasionally have a list of people who have
contacted us to tell us they are available to complete Work Days. If we have any names of people
available, we are happy to share that information and provide contact
information.
- DO NOT LEAVE IT TO THE LAST MINUTE TO FIND WORK DAY COVERAGE
Please do not
hesitate to contact jmcalpine@steelcityriders.ca with any questions you
may have regarding your Work Day. If you've never done one before it can be a
bit intimidating, but with a little education and training, you will be ready
to complete your day.
Watch for email
communication that will come out the week before each event. The Worker Roster
will be included on this email as well as any info you may need regarding time,
location, what to bring, etc. There will also be a link to the Work Day Video
tutorial. It is very important to watch the Work Day video in its entirety,
even if you have watched it before.
We thank you all in
advance for fulfilling your membership obligations and help to keep things
running smoothly.

2023 MX School Night
The MX School will return once again in 2023 with a handful of our pro riders volunteering their time to share tips and tricks on riding. Dates and details will be listed here in the coming weeks but it will run from early June to end of July once a week similar to last year.Chad Fleck, lifetime members and former National Pro Racer, is coordinating a team of our pro riders who will volunteer their time to share tips and tricks on riding. Sessions will be on Tuesday nights beginning June 6th, through to the end of July. Meet at the trailer, ready to ride at 6PM. Sessions are approximately 2 hours long.
This year will be a little less structured, we won't be having a specific skill listed for each week. July 11th and 18th are the standouts as they will be the woods riding sessions.
NOTE: The club track and/or trails will be reserved exclusively for the school sessions on these dates for as long as they need. We encourage you, whether beginner or experienced rider, to come out and brush up on your riding skills.
