The
Ice Racing New South Wales Inc (IRNSW) (formerly The Ice Speed Skating Association of NSW Inc), in association with the equivalent
organisations in Victoria and Queensland, is affiliated with Australian Ice Racing Inc.
The IRNSW is the representative body for all ice racing clubs in NSW. Its tasks are set out in its Constitution.
One of those tasks is to keep up to date with the latest rules for racing and to notify all skaters
of any racing rule changes. You can read a brief version
of the current racing rules created by the NSW Chief Referee, Andrew Morgan,
in Rules for beginners.
Another task is to organise specific race meetings during the year. A member of the committee
is the Event Co-ordinator and the event co-ordinator,
along with other volunteers (appointed by the event co-ordinator) organises both internal NSW events as well as
running national events on behalf of Australian Ice Racing Inc.
The association is responsible for maintaining the racing records for NSW
and you can see the current records at Records.
The executive committee consists of 6 members.
Meetings are held monthly.
Each affiliated club is invited to nominate a delegate to participate in the meeting. It is the club
delegate's responsibility to inform their club members of the IRNSW's plans and activities.
Several NSW Government bodies support Ice Racing New South Wales Inc. This may be by way of workshops
that enable committee members to keep up to date with the latest developments
on various subjects from raising funds to presentation skills and to make available health professionals to visit a club and talk to club members (the skaters).
The IRNSW acknowledges and appreciates the support provided
by the NSW Sports Federation
and the NSW
Department of Sport and Recreation. This assistance consists of:
- Financial assistance for
the development of the sport through various programs and events.
- Advice and information
on various aspects of the sport.
- Sport development
- Coaching development
- Talent development
- Sport safety with programs
for participation and organiser codes of behaviour.
