27 January 2010

Motorcycling Australia (MA) and the State Controlling Bodies (SCBs) would like to advise of a change in procedure to the way that licences are issued to our members.

Previously, each type of licence has been issued separately, meaning that a member could hold multiple different licence cards with different licence numbers (eg an Official’s Licence, a Coaches Licence and a Rider’s Licence).

From 20 January 2010, all SCB’s and MA will be issuing one membership card per member, which will have the details of all licences and accreditations that the member holds.

Each member will be issued their own unique member number which can be used to identify them regardless of how they participate in an event.

The look and feel of the card has changed, and an example can be seen below:

The front of the card features the following:

The back of the card features the following:

As you can see, any licenses or endorsements issued that are associated with riding can be found on the front of the card.

Any licenses or endorsements issued that are associated with officials can be found in the box on the bottom left on the back of the card.

Any other licenses or endorsements issued can be seen in the box on the bottom right on the back of the card.

The acronyms that will be used on the membership card are as follows:

For coaching accreditation, the Coach Licence is listed as COA with the levels

set as CC (Club Coach), CL1 (Level 1), CL2 (Level 2).

Coaching Endorsements include FMX (Freestyle Motocross) or RBF (Road Bike Freestyle).

For officials accreditation, the Official Licence is listed as OFF with the levels set as L1 (Level 1), L2 (Level 2), L3 (Level 3), L4 (Level 4).

Officials Endorsements are titled by discipline and title where:

DT – Dirt Track EN – Enduro HRR – Historic Road Race MK – Minikhana MT – Moto Trials MX – Motocross RR – Road Race SM – Supermoto SP – Speedway TK – Track	COC – Clerk of Course J – Judge M – Marshal ME – Measurer RS – Race Secretary S – Steward SC – Scrutineer ST – Starter T – Timekeeper

Other licences (on the back) include: ATO - Alcohol Test Officer ENT - Entrant MEC - Mechanic NCO - Noise Control Officer VI - Venue Inspector

When a member renews one of their licence types, a new membership card will be issued with the valid expiry date recorded on the card.
