HOW TO START A NEW CLUB
PLEASE NOTE, A MORATORUIM HAD BEEN PUT IN PLACE IN THE WESTERN CAPE FROM END NOVEMBER 2024 TO END SEPTEMBER 2025. NO NEW CLUBS OR CHAPTERS OF EXISTING CLUBS WILL BE ALLOWED TO OPEN IN THE SOUTH WESTERN DISTRICTS DURING THIS PERIOD
No outside club can patch an SWD rider without having started a chapter first.
The following Protocols, Rules and Guidelines were accepted by SWDMCA (South Western Districts Motorcycle Association) as being applicable to new clubs, new club chapters, etc wanting to start in the SWD Region.
It is therefore important for anybody wanting to start a new club/ club chapter to first understand all the protocols and rules and to follow the guidelines so as to avoid any confusion and/ or misunderstandings.
A special Bikers Task Team was founded to manage the implementation of these protocols by guiding and educating proposed new clubs in the SWD region (Plett to Swellendam (incl Witsand). Klein Karoo and Karoo including Beaufort Wes and Langkloof). The Task Team operates as an independent body under the auspices of the SWDMCA to regulate, educate and screen new club applications and is the only body empowered to deal with new club applications.
