WELCOME TO MINIKHANA

Welcome to Penrith PCYC Mini Bikes for 2012.

Please read the General Rules carefully and do not hesitate to ask any Questions if you have them.

At our Club you will be able to learn the skills necessary to ride and control your bike. Not only do you ride Minicross in Minikhana, you also learn and ride skill based events which will develop your skills while you ride, making you a better rider. Minikhana clubs cater for males and females from beginners to experienced riders from 4 years and up, aboard motorcycles in 50cc, 60/65cc, 80/85cc and 100/,150Rcc categories. PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: ALL PARENTS are required to assist on riding days. If a parent does not assist it may result in their child not participating for the day. NO RIDER IS TO BE LEFT AT THE CLUB GROUNDS ALONE. Without parents there is NO riding. This year all parents are required by PCYC to fill out a Child Protection form to comply with NSW Govt Sport & Rec. rules. Please attend to this matter at sign up. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable time with our club and experience the thrills of motorcycling with your children. Our Club Committee Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at O'Donoghues Emu Plains at 7PM. All parents are invited to attend. Your input to these meetings is welcome as new ideas can enhance our club and its facilities.
