What is the Big Picture Wall? The Big Picture Wall is the power of the people! It is the mechanism for the fans of Australia and worldwide to be a part of saving McAdam Park, an icon of Australian Motocross!

HELP US SAVE MCADAM PARK BARRABOOL!
Sponsor a tile and become part of the BIG PICTURE WALL!

McAdam Park is one of Australia's oldest and most loved tracks and the land that is the home of the Sporting Motor Cycle Club is up for sale and we need cash! What we're asking is that every motorcycling fan, every person who has ever felt the freedom of the sport and every person who wants to help this great club and institution survive reach into their pocket and sponsor a tile on the Big Picture Wall.

The Wall is like a jigsaw, each tile filling in part of the puzzle of 10,000 tiles which, if all are sold, potentially will raise nearly $1.5 million dollars! Once the tiles are sold the Wall will be built at McAdam Park, with your name engraved on your own ceramic tile. The 16 metre long Wall will be a monument to everyone who participated in the Save Barrabool Campaign and secured the future of this fantastic complex.

STOP PRESS!
McAdam Park is saved!!

The future of McAdam Park Barrabool has been secured thanks to the combined efforts of motorcycling fans! The Sporting Motor Cycle Club would like to thank everyone who helped make our dream of Saving McAdam Park come true! To all those who committed their time - from individuals at a local level working towards our goal, club members, Geelong MotorPlex, Barwon Recreational Motorcycling Council, the Victorian State Government via our Local Member for Parliament Michael Crutchfield, local government, Motorcycling Australia and in particular all those who committed to putting their name on the Big Picture Wall, - we say thank you!

The report on our message board below gives further information on how the commitment from State Government became the confidence inspiring catalyst for others to follow. Our National Governing body Motorcycling Australia, is now the new owner of McAdam Park, Barrabool. Their commitment to saving this invaluable community asset is to be applauded! Local off road riders can now look forward to a continuation of the venues 47 year heritage and a reputation of providing some of the best racing in the country!

And now a word about the keystone of the Saving Barrabool Campaign, our wonderful patron Clive McAdam. A memorial plaque at the entrance to McAdam Park reads -

McADAM PARK
In honour of our beloved patron of many years, Clive McAdam.
A man who's generosity and love of motorcycling has allowed so many to share this land and feel the freedom.

Sporting Motorcycle Club

Clive McAdam was a man with a warm and generous nature, who had a strong sense of community. In 1962 Clive answered an advertisement from the Sporting Motor Cycle Club who were looking for a new home, the rest is now set in history. His commitment in allowing the Sporting Motor Cycle Club and its members to use his land for so long will be forever remembered. SMCC also gratefully acknowledge the commitment shown by his loving wife Gert and the entire McAdam Family for allowing the club time to find the means to achieve our shared goal - securing McAdam Park for our community and motorcycling enthusiasts of all ages.

Clive McAdam
(13.10.1914 - 13.3.2002)
Our heartfelt thanks, from the Sporting Motor Cycle Club

The "Wall" lives on!
Although we had some hold ups along the way and we may not have achieved our original financial target, the "Wall" certainly played its part in raising awareness of our plight, and the people of Australia responded! Just because McAdam Park has been secured, does not mean the "Wall" is finished!

Sporting Motor Cycle Club will now remain as a user and carer of McAdam Park, and as such will always be striving to improve club members enjoyment and experiences. SMCC has decided the Big Picture Wall should remain as a permanent ongoing fund raiser, as a means for those who wish to contribute to the SMCC's future endeavours and its future generations of members.

All the same benefits will apply to future tile sponsors including getting your name on the Wall and our sponsor lists .
