AMA 2011 Championships in Brisbane

January 22nd, 2011 by AMA Webmaster 2 comments »

The AMA Championships in Brisbane, Easter 2011 are still on. From the Championships Convenor Wilma Perkins:

The AMA Championship preparations are proceeding as normal and the flooding in Queensland has not affected the actual organization of the event. In fact we need, more than ever, the support of members to attend to make the Championships a positive and enjoyable event and something to look forward to after the widespread effects of such adverse weather seen this summer, not just in Queensland but in other states as well.

Championships information with draft programme is available. There is a paper entry form and online entry.
