Different roles require different time commitment, however most roles are fairly small in size. If you want to know more then contact one of our current committee members or e-mail membership@gippslandmtb.com.au.

All positions are declared vacant at the AGM, so do not be afraid to put your hand up because someone else did it and they might want it again. Most current committee members have multiple roles at the moment and would be more than happy to focus on a specific area of the club to keep us moving forward.

If you do wish to nominate for the committee, you will need to complete a Nomination Form (available here) and return to it:

Gippsland MTB Inc

PO Box 792

Traralgon, Vic, 3844

Also, if you cannot be there on the night but one of your mates is going you can still vote for people by completing a Proxy Appointment Form (available here) and sending it to the address above. This all sounds very formal and in fact it is probably the most formal part of the club at the moment. So please, just fill in the forms and we’ll get some new faces and ideas in the prime positions to keep the club growing.
