2024 AIDKA Fees

2024 AIDKA Fees

Dec 18, 2023

Dear Members, At the AIDKA AGM held Friday 8th December 2023, the fees for the 2024 season where reviewed and as a result unfortunately there have been some increases. The attached document lists the updated fees, with the changes highlighted. AIDKA LIST OF FEES Effective 1st February 2024Download However, we will just touch on a few points below: After 5 years without having changes the licence fees unfortunately this year the licences have increased. Every effort has been made to keep this increase to a minimum, however it has been unavoidable. Casual Pit Passes have increased to $10 per pass/day. AIDKA will retain the full $10 per pass and will invoice each club as we currently do. AIDKA will be providing wrist bands to each club for the Casual Pit Passes, and these will be issued before the start of the season. For those pit crews who regularly attend meetings and purchase a Casual Pit Pass, we encourage you to look at purchasing a Pit Crew Licence.  The Maximum Title Nomination Fee has been increased so that the AIDKA Levy can be increased from $30 to $45. This was proposed by one of the Clubs to offset the titles expense to AIDKA. Finally, a new fee has been introduced “AIDKA Nomination Levy” this is a $3 levy on all club event nominations (including Education Days). The purpose of this levy is to reduce a larger increase in the licensing fees. By introducing this levy the cost can be spread across a race season rather than at the time of licence purchase/renewal. Whilst every effort has been made to keep the fee increases to a minimum (including a review of expenditure) unfortunately as an association we have had no alternative but to increase fees. Please note 2024 Licence will not be available for purchase until the 1st January 2024. Also please be mindful that your club has to approve the licence their end and have paid their annual Club Affiliation Fees before any licences are validated at AIDKA’s end. We look forward to seeing everyone trackside in 2024. AIDKA...

An IMPORTANT message about Social Media to all AIDKA Licence Holders.

An IMPORTANT message about Social Media to all AIDKA Licence Holders.

Sep 11, 2023

Sadly once again we are seeing an increase in complaints about intimidation, bullying and generally unacceptable behavior via social media in OUR SPORT. This must stop as of NOW. We are taking this opportunity to remind ALL AIDKA LICENCE HOLDERS that AIDKA do have a Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy (which is in the 2023 AIDKA Rule Book). We ask everyone to familiarise themselves with the Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy. Penalties can be, and have been imposed (including a suspension for up to 3 months for the first offence) for any person deemed to be in breach. For those who have AIDKA members under 18 we encourage you have the conversation with them regarding what IS and IS NOT acceptable. Some discussion topics are listed below. ** Be nice. Mean behavior is not OK. Make it clear that you expect your kids to treat others with respect, and to never post hurtful or embarrassing messages. And ask them to always tell you about any harassing or bullying messages that others post. ** Think twice before hitting “enter.” Remind them that what they post can be used against them. Once they hit enter their comments cannot be taken back. ** Follow the “WWGS?” (What Would Grandma Say?) rule. Teach kids not to share anything on social media that they wouldn’t want their teachers, parents, AIDKA Executive — and yes, grandma — to see. ** Use privacy settings. Privacy settings are important. Go through them together to make sure your kids understand each one. Also, explain that passwords are there to protect them against things like identity theft. They should never share them with anyone, even a boyfriend, girlfriend, or best friend. ** Don’t “friend” strangers. “If you don’t know them, don’t friend them.” This is a plain, simple — and safe — rule of thumb. ** Defriend “friends” who are harassing or bullying them. Encourage your kids to leave chats, groups or defriend people who make them feel uncomfortable or upset. ** Or if they feel they are being harassed or bullied.
