Warrnambool Motorcycle Club to host 2020 come-and-try day

Club president Nath Elliott said it was important to make prospective members feel safe and welcomed.

"There's a buddy system for the new kids. The new kids pair up with a senior rider who knows the track well - a kid their own age they can relate to."

Elliott said the come-and-try day, which starts at 11am and runs until after 7pm to "make the most of daylight saving", was for anyone interested in motorsport.

"It's for kids as young as five who like to cruise around the farm on their peewee 50 through to guys who are 50 and 60 years old who still like coming to the motorcycle track," he said.

More than 120 people attended the club's 2019 come-and-try day with Elliott hopeful of attracting in excess of 150 this time around.

He said there had been tweaks to the track to "bring the fun back into it and we've given the riders what they've asked for".

Coaches will be on hand to help and there will be catering and a barbecue dinner on course. Entry is $10.
