Online membership form

In accordance with the rules of the Classic Motorcycle Club of Victoria, Inc. (CMCCV) constitution, all new membership applications are required to be approved by the committee. To assist the committee with their decision, you are now advised to please answer the following questions, in your own words.

By submitting this application, I acknowledge that:
‘Motorcycling’ is inherently dangerous and involves a significant risk of personal injury and property damage, no matter how skillful and careful individual riders and passengers might be. Membership of the Classic Motorcycle Club of Victoria Inc (the Club) is comprised of amateur motorcycling enthusiasts whose activities as members of the Club are organised by members as volunteers and that participation in activities of the Club is also voluntary. Notwithstanding efforts that might be made by the Club and its members to minimise the risk of injury to participants and others and damage to machinery, during events organised by the Club, responsibility to avoid such injury or damage rests with individual participants, and not with the Club or its members.
In these circumstances and in consideration of the acceptance of this application, I waive absolutely any right that I might now or in future have to make any claim for compensation or indemnity or contribution against the Club or any member arising from any activity organized by or on behalf of the Club whilst I am a member, and I undertake that I will not seek to pursue any such claim for compensation or indemnity or contribution against the Club or any member arising out of any injury or damage to property suffered by me or any third party in the course of any activity organized by or on behalf of the Club.
I understand that this document changes legal rights and responsibilities that I might otherwise have and I acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice about the meaning and implications of the document before I submitted it.
