Bendigo Kart Club Rebuild our Canteen After the Fire

Help Rebuild the Bendigo Kart Club Canteen After Devastating Fire

In May, a devastating fire tore through the heart of the Bendigo Kart Club — our beloved canteen — reducing it to ashes.

This wasn’t just a kitchen. It was the lifeblood of our club, the gathering place for families and friends on race days, and our main source of income to cover essential costs like insurance, track maintenance, and safety upgrades.

Even more heartbreaking is that we also lost decades of club history in the fire — every trophy, photo, and piece of memorabilia dating back to the 1970s. These items represented generations of racing memories and milestones and, sadly, they can never be replaced.

The Bendigo Kart Club is a not-for-profit community sports club, run entirely by volunteers. We host around 8 race meetings each year, including a round of the prestigious Golden Power Series — one of Victoria’s top karting events.

We’re now facing the huge task of rebuilding from the ground up — and we need your help.

Every donation, big or small, will go directly toward replacing our canteen and helping us get back on track — literally and figuratively. Your support will help us continue to foster the sport we love and provide a safe, inclusive, and exciting environment for current and future generations of racers.

Whether you're a past member, a local business, a karting fan, or someone who believes in supporting grassroots sport — your help means more than you know.

Please consider donating and sharing this page. Together, we can rebuild what was lost — and keep the spirit of the Bendigo Kart Club alive.

Thank you,

The Bendigo Kart Club Committee
