The Kurri Kurri Speedway Club Inc made an application in the Play Our Way Program Grant Opportunity GO6763 under Stream 2: Participation and Equipment.

The Club Inc has been advised that the application has been successful.

The Kurri Kurri Speedway Club Inc has developed a program dubbed “EmpowerRide” that aims to increase women and girls’ participation in motorcycling sport and addresses identified barriers for participation – including participation in recreation riding, competition riding, participation as an official, participating in coaching and mentoring, participation in administration and participation as a volunteer.
The program is designed to focus on the basic grassroots aspects of planning, implementing conducting and evaluating motorcycle speedway and flat track activity both on and off the track as well as developing skills and knowledge as the program progresses.

Quotes attributable to Minister for Sport, Anika Wells:
“Play Our way is the single biggest package for women’s sport participation and facilities ever and these 120 projects will create greater opportunities for women and girls to enjoy being physically active.
“The huge response to this grant opportunity, and the range of great project ideas, show that Australian communities want to be more supportive of women and girls.
“These projects will address the fact that too many girls drop out of sport and never come back as women.
“I am confident the successful projects will have a major impact by signaling that every person has the right to enjoy sport, at every level.”

The first stage of the program will be to conduct an open online survey to identify the barriers to women and girls participating in motorcycle sport. This will set the benchmark for gauging the success of EmpowerRide.

**Stay connected to the Kurri Kurri Speedway official page for details on the stages of the program. The Club encourages its followers to support the project and “spread the word” to family and friends.

Bringing back the energy in 2025!

At a recent meeting, the Kurri Kurri Speedway Club Inc Committee discussed plans to rekindle motorcycle activity at the Loxford Park venue.
The committee is well aware of the challenges that this will bring especially in view of the fact that proposed grassroots activities planned in 2023 delivered such a low response that no motorcycle activity was viable to be conducted.
The Club is enthusiastic about providing opportunities for recreation and competition motorcycling activity to continue as well as continuing to cater for speedway kart events at the venue.
To kick things off, a sign on day will be held on Saturday 08 March 2025 incorporating a Come and Try Ride Day.
The proposed calendar for 2025 has been drafted and is attached with this post.

Can you spare some time this coming Saturday 25 November to be a part of a working bee at the track?
With race meetings in December and January, the Club wants to have the venue ship-shape and is seeking the help of a bunch of volunteers to work on some much-needed tasks.
The working bee will be held this coming Saturday 25 November 2023 starting at around 8:00am. Some of the work to be done includes mowing, whipper snipping, work on fences, and cleaning.
If you and any of your friends can help, bring along mowers, whipper snippers, brooms, shovels, spades, tools and most importantly hats, sunnies, sun screen and drinking water.
You are advised to wear closed shoes - no thongs or sandals - and maybe some gardening or rubber gloves.
If you and any of your friends can help out for a period of time, please message here on Facebook and tell us how you would like to help and when you will be able to help. That information will help us to organise the tasks for the day.

Three-time World Individual Speedway Solo Champion Tai Woffinden from Great Britain will be making his debut appearance at Kurri Kurri Speedway when he competes in the 2023 Johnnie Hoskins Founder’s Cup race meeting on Saturday 16 December 2023.

Woffinden won the coveted Championship in 2013, 2015 and 2018 and was a member of the winning Great Britain side that won the World Teams Championship, the Speedway of Nations, in 2021.

“Our Club is very excited that Tai has accepted the invitation to ride in the event as part of our Centenary of Speedway program,” said Club President, Peter Campton. ”There is a truly international flavour to show how the sport has grown world-wide.”

Whilst born in Great Britain, Woffinden grew up in Australia when his parents moved to Perth where he started his career. He has been a regular visitor to Australia and was keen to compete in the Johnnie Hoskins Founders Cup to be a part of the celebrations of 100 years of the sport in Australia.

The Founder's Cup was sent from England by members of the Hoskins family to commemorate the speedway meeting held at Maitland Showground on 15th December, 1923.

This very special award was first presented in Australia at the Motordrome speedway, Newcastle in 1988 and won by Englishman, Alun Rossiter. Other winners since that time at various tracks are Jon Jorgensen (Denmark) and Australian riders Todd Wiltshire, Craig Watson, Mick Poole, Shane Haggarty, Richard Sweetman and Brady Kurtz. Woffinden will be aiming to be just the third international rider to win the Cup.

Celebrations for the Centenary of Speedway will begin on Friday 15 December – 100 years to the day – with a Speedway Showcase at the Maitland Showground supported by Maitland City Council featuring an unprecedented collection of historic speedway motorcycles, speedway sidecars and speedway cars some of which will participate in demonstration laps. The Maitland Showground gates will open at 10:00am and be followed by the Centenary of Speedway Dinner from 7pm.

Regrettably, tomorrow's Ride Park Day has been cancelled. The venue surrounds are very wet - the infield has surface water - there are 'soft spots' in the track surface. At the time of this post, another storm is coming in from the west. Thank you for your patience and your interest in taking part in our recreational Ride Park Days. One more is scheduled for Saturday 08 October 2022.
