Hey Everyone!! Another weekend of racing has passed and this time we were at the awesome Mugello circuit. Since Imola I have had another two weeks of recovery and daily physiotherapy exercises and the...Here's a little bit of history for those who never went there, as well as for those 'older' members who spent many great times at the HCV's Balnarring property. The HCV bought 2 side by side blocks of land in the 1920s and a club house was built by the Harley Club members on 1 block in the mid '20s. It was used for club events, stay overs and several other uses by club members up until both properties were eventually sold in the early 2000s. The proceeds were then used to purchase the current property and build the new club rooms at Broadford. People could also be a Clubhouse member by purchasing a numbered key which would give you extra benefits including a 'box' ( approx 500mm cubed ) where you could store your riding gear during a visit. It has changed a bit, but the basic layout is still the same. They also have a few reproduced HCV photos from the early days hanging on the walls. www.stayz.com.au/holiday-rental/p7482935

This was an Indian Club event from around the early to mid 90s. HCV life member Keith Gibson's 1920 Scout is on the rear stand.
This is one of the Clubhouse Member keys, number 244.
Looks great how long did the club own it for and are there any pictures of it before and after
And if it’s ever for sale again, I’m buying it Peter 😂

It was a beautiful and special place for my family and Great Grandparents, lots of history. Must get up to Broadford to see the memorabilia again. @Peter Hern is it all there now?
*** Cancelled Events ***
Probably no surprise but unfortunately due to COVID-19 the Dirt Track Race days 20th Sept and 4th Oct have been cancelled. The dirt track practice day on 18th Oct has also been cancelled. There will be no Dirt Track Club Championship for 2020. We are as disappointed as you. We are still hoping to hold some recreational dirt track days in November if we are able to. Stay safe everyone.
We are very proud of our very own Brendan Ferrari for winning the inaugural Graham “checkers” Stewart Official of the Year Award back in November 2019. He has given so much time officiating at our many events and always with enthusiasm. Congratulations Brendan!For Brendan Ferrari, what started as a fill-in flag marshall role at Calder Park to ensure racing could start one weekend in 1982, turned into a life-long passion for officiating across all motorcycle disciplines, from club events to international races.
We sat down with the inaugural winner of Motorcycling Australia’s Graham “Checkers” Stewart Official of Year Award to discuss his passion for the sport and officiating.

Well done *Uncle Brendan! *he’s not a relation but I still think if him as one!!!😜
Well deserved... I remember coming across the line at Phillip Island in somewhere between 20th and last in my first 250 Production race in 1995 (I think) and Brendan was waving the chequeres like I’d won the world title..! It made me feel somewhat special, like finishing the race was an achievement, and it was I guess... and still so many years on I see the guy officiating local dirt track meetings... a pretty valuable member of the racing community in my eyes...
