Nelson Speedway Junior Members

06/04/2026

Thank you for Junior Members for another fantastic season!
I hope you all enjoyed the visit from the Easter Bunny and enjoyed all your Easter goodies. A big thank you for helping Michelle pack up yesterday while we waited for the Easter Bunny to arrive. What a beautiful group of children we have as part of our speedway family! Our Saturdays are going to feel empty for the next 6 months.

Thank you to Nelson Speedway for once again having me as the coordinator for the 6th season running!

Thank you Michelle for joining me again and having ALL the fun on race day!!

Thank you to Hundy for once again doing the cooking, cleaning and often staying up late with me to make sure everything is sorted and running to the printers and other places before and after work. All your efforts don’t go unnoticed.

Thank you to the parents who stay and help. We love the help and you always have such kind words to say.

Thank you to everyone who has stepped up and helped out over the season - too many to list!

And lastly, thank you to Nelson Tow & Salvage for being our sponsor for the season and helping us with the Santa Parades. We appreciate you!

Now onto planning next season - what will we do to top this year? 👀

See you in 5ish months!

This is Zoe signing out one last time - peace ✌🏼

Thank you everyone for an amazing activity last night! We had some books left over and all of them got sold to some of the drivers who featured in the book.

I was super impressed to see all the Junior Members wearing high vis vests as you moved through the pits with Michelle. Please please remember when it’s an activity not stationed on the clubroom deck then you MUST wear a high vis vest. We want you to be safe and we are being very strict on this rule.

I hope you all enjoyed meeting some of the youth ministock drivers and we will definitely do another poster book in the future.

A big BIG thank you to Waimea Express Print for printing the books!! Appreciate your work every single time ☺️
