Rotorua Scored Awesome 8^th Overall in the 1^st Club des Nations in Taupo over the weekend,

 The team comprising of Nathan Sharland (Junior 85cc), Mel Patterson (junior 125cc), Scotty Canham (Junior 250F), Hayden Clark (MX2), Campbell Bailey (MX1), and Mark Patterson (Vets/Team Captain) rode awesome in the first ever Club des Nations in Taupo getting an overall place of 8^th out of 20 clubs.  With the exception of the few riders overseas currently the cream of New Zealand were in Taupo representing their individual clubs in a club challenge.  Rotorua had awesome team spirits with the supporters and all the riders helping each other out during the day. 

 From a team management point of view we could not be prouder of the riders who all rode to 100% all day to get a very strong result for our club.  This event will grow in prestige each year and we have now pre-qualified for 2011 due to being top ten.  Plans are already in the making towards 2011 for RMCC team involvement with stronger club support vital for the success and spirit of the day.  An infield area has been booked for an RMCC committee and supporters tent with refreshments.  Loud horns will be supplied to let our riders know that they have support.  A fundraiser early in the 2011 year will see some team gear supplied to the riders to help create the team culture.

 Special thanks to the riders for their efforts and their individual sponsors who assisted them in participating in our team.

 This event will without doubt strengthen the sport of MX in our club as club championship points will be used as one tool towards team selection in the future.
