All New Motocross Club In Wales

Cardiff City Council has recently appointed a volunteer coordinator funded by the CCW country side council of Wales. The role will be to support a vibrant, club-based structure, which will help promote responsible riding practice and social awareness in and around motocross. The club will be a totally separate identity to CMX Centre Ltd who also operates on the same piece of land namely the CMX Centre although the club will be aiming to support CMX Ltd with volunteer opportunities.

The volunteer coordinators role will be to help encourage and stimulate volunteer opportunities at the off road bike site, sustaining and supporting a vibrant club structure, namely Foreshore MXC (Friends of the Foreshore Motocross Club.)

We aim to obtain ACU project status for Foreshore MXC to provide training opportunities within the sport of motocross for volunteers, set up and support motocross club competitions affiliated to the ACU at the CMX Centre site, and develop The Welsh Motocross Academy for riders demonstrating exceptional ability in Wales.


The club will be holding its first Club evening meeting at 7pm on Tuesday 20th January, at the LLynfi Arms Tondu nr Bridgend, to discuss the future of Welsh motocross. Welsh motocross superstar Mark Jones has kindly lent the club the use of his Function room, and will be supplying light refreshments (cheers Jonesy) and will also be in attendance along with other Welsh motocross superstars, to help shape the way of Welsh Motocross. All are welcome and for any further information please contact Please contact Mark Thomas on 07814 544244
