NORTHERN COMBINE – 2008 ROAD PROGRAM (18 March 2008)
The following is the scheduled program for the 2008 Road Season. While all due care has been taken in its preparation, this program is subject to change (e.g. if permits are refused or other significant issues arise).
Please check with your club or your Northern Combine delegate or club websites for updates, more details and course maps. It is envisaged that a website with a dedicated Northern Combine section will be launched in 2008.
Start Time: ALL Senior Combine racing is scheduled to START at 10.00 am (Juniors generally start shortly after).
Senior (J19+) Entry Fees: VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RIDERS IS INCLUDED HERE!!!
• $10.00 flat fee for all races for Combine riders who volunteer to officiate on at least one occasion in 2008.
• $20.00 flat fee for all races for Combine riders who choose to not volunteer to officiate on at least one occasion in 2008 AND all visiting riders providing they have written approval from their ‘home’ club.
ALL Combine clubs have endorsed the implementation of the rider volunteer roster system for the 2008 season.
Should senior riders have any particular queries regarding the 2008 volunteering/marshalling/officiating system they should discuss these with their club delegate in the first instance.
To avoid any potential embarr****ment riders should always bring their 2008 Racing Licence to races.

2008 Handicapping Details
Peter Wykes (Preston/Non-Racing) is the 2008 Handicapper for the Northern Combine. Tom McDonough (Coburg/Racing) is the 2008 ****istant Handicapper.
Peter and Tom can also call draw upon the knowledge and ****istance of the 2008 Racing Sub-Committee (Michael Burke - Racing/Preston, Mel Humphreys-Grey - Racing/Northcote and Luke McDonough - Racing/Coburg).
Handicap and Trophy Race entry procedures
Should you wish to race in one of the Handicap races then you will need to enter by 9.00 pm on the Wednesday preceding the race (i.e. absolutely no entries on the day). Also, to ****ist with considered and accurate grading for the special Trophy races (and Burke’s Points Score race) it would be appreciated if you pre-enter these by 9.00 pm on the Wednesday preceding the race.
The following is the ONLY acceptable 2008 season pre-entry method:
Email to (If really necessary Peter can also be contacted after 7.00 pm on ).
It would be prudent for riders to retain, and then bring to the race, Handicap race pre-entry evidence.
Northern Combine 2008 Senior (J19+) Championship Conditions
Key points follow:
• Riders MUST be full racing licence members of one of the nine Combine clubs to be eligible to race and therefore receive a medal.
• To preserve the status and integrity of Championships, Senior (J19+) riders must actually beat someone to be awarded a medal.
• Further to the above point, this means that at least four starters are required in any designated race category for the full ‘suite’ of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to be awarded.
Northern Combine Delegates (Names/Email Addresses/Role)
1. Brunswick: Andrew Gannon ()
2. Coburg: Luke McDonough, Delegate and Treasurer ()
3. Hawthorn: Aaron Christiansen () or
4. Italo-Australian: Gino Carmelli ()
5. Melton: Tom Connelly ()
6. Northcote: Mel Humphreys-Grey, Delegate and Secretary ()
7. Preston: Michael Burke ( or )
8. St Kilda: Paul Lewis ()
9. Sunbury: Chris Hitchen, Delegate and President ( or )
To keep race days dedicated to racing and free from unnecessary distractions it is expected that riders will direct queries, suggestions (or complaints) to their respective club delegates.
These matters can then be either p****ed on to the appropriate person or raised at the next monthly Northern Combine meeting for general discussion and consideration.
For example, riders wishing to return a number and receive reimbursement of the original deposit should make arrangements to return it to the Combine through their club delegate.
As only a small cash float is brought to each race, and the rider entry fees received form the race day ‘sweepstakes’, the race day entry steward is not in a position to offer a refund.
For administrative and financial record keeping purposes the return of numbers, and any related reimbursement, will then be recorded officially at the Combine meeting to which it is returned.
