 In
light of the formation of the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission, an
informal committee has been established by a group of women in Melbourne
in an effort to support and promote women in the sport across
Australia.
The Women in Motorsport Committee held an informal meeting in
Melbourne in August and was attended by women from a range of
backgrounds including rally, circuit racing, engineering, officialling,
club motorsport and media/promotions.
As the FIA's delegate to the FIA WMC, Leanne Tander will act as
Chairperson of the newly formed committee and is joined by the likes of
Sue Evans, Samantha Reid, Amber Anderson and fellow club member Karyn Hamer-Finn to name but a few. The
committee is currently putting together a mission statement and charter
and with the assistance of CAMS, will establish a website dedicated to
the promotion of women in motor sport.
Further details will be published in future editions of CAMS 'Speedread' newsletter ,
however persons wishing to learn more about this exciting new committee
are invited to register their interest by sending an email to

Club Cancellation Policy
The purpose of this document is to clarify for all persons what the club’s policy is on Cancellations received prior to or on the day of an event:
1. Where the club has not paid for your spot to attend an event and you cancel more than 14 days prior to that event – you are entitled to a
refund of moneys paid less a 10% handling charge to cover the costs of banking, postage etc.
2. Where the club has paid for your attendance in advance (i.e. things such as many motorsport events, Shannons Christmas with the Clubs
etc.) you will not be entitled to a refund. However, If it is possible for another member to take your place at this event then we are happy
to have them pay direct to you for your place rather than waste the money. All that is required in such instances is for the member involved
to let the organizer of the event know that the other member is taking his or her place.
3. Any special extenuating circumstances that may require further consideration will be dealt with at the sole discretion of the executive
committee or responsible officer at a committee meeting. Minor illnesses, work commitments, car troubles and the like will not be
considered as special circumstances so please do not ask.
