SUCCESS
Welcome to the WMA website.
There are currently fourteen registered member motorcycle clubs. The Westcoast Motorcycle Association (WMA) was established in 2008 and some of our aims and objectives are to unite and serve bike clubs, groups and individuals, to co-ordinate and liaise the annual calendar, events and rallies and to foster interest in motorcycling. It is towards the association's aims and objectives that we promote and improve the image of biking to the general public, and to work towards supporting targeted under privileged and welfare organisations. After a couple of years of inactivity, Dennis Robinson revived the association when he relocated to Veldrift. Being actively involved in the Cape Town based motorcycle association (MAWC) he brought a lot of knowledge and experience with. Shortly after the WCMA was up and running again with an interim executive leading the way. Since then the WMA has been going from strength to strength.

WMA Events
WMA events are organised for the benefit of all motorcyclists and the general public as fund raisers, not only for the association but also for selected local charities and the member clubs. The Association also has a "buddy fund" which is seperately administered for the purposes of assisting all bikers in need in general on the Westcoast. Three main events include a meet and greet, an official dayjol and the annual Toyrun.
Club Events
Our member clubs have their own annual events as fund raisers for their club, their respective charities, or purely just for fun. All participating clubs are committed supporters of each others events. A yearly calender is published as part of this publication and is updated yearly.
Club events are co-ordinated and promoted by the WMA and the relevant club.
Non-member clubs also enjoy member support.
The Exec
The local executive members consists of a chairman and vice-chairman, a secretary and the public relations officer. Every two years a new exec is voted on. These people dedicate time, effort and personal finances to the biking cause.
Affiliations
Included in the WMA structure there is provision for independent bikers and businesses to register as affiliated members which enjoys the brotherhood and support of fully fledged members and clubs.

WHY THE WMA?
One of the most frequent questions we get is "where does the WMA (or similar associations) get their mandate from". Within most geological areas an association is present which duty is to promote biking amongst bikers as well as the general public. These associations are managed and run by representatives of member clubs without compensation and with subscribed club members. An executive is elected amongst these clubs (within the association) which normally consists of a chairman, a vice chairman, a treasurer and a public relations person. In some cases (as in ours) there is a general secretary as well.
In short all local club presidents in the prescribed area mandates the association with their tasks. Another group referred to as the Task Team are mandated to help, assist and guide existing as well as potentially new clubs regarding accepted protocols and procedures. This team also combines volunteer members from all clubs / associations in that particular area to assist in their duties.
Regular meetings between the presidents / vice presidents (referred to as the G2G), the association and the Task Team happen and feedback is given to the G2G. Protocols are needed to ensure the happy and uniform co-existence of registered and recognised clubs in any area.
