09.01.2022 Hearthhouse Mandurah Gets Slammin:: In an added bonus to this years 2021 Great Southern Slam - Brought to You By Boatland Mandurah on May 15 @ the Great Souther...n Kart Club in Wagin, Kim & Dolby From HearthHouse Mandurah have again thrown their support behind this years event by supporting the Hearthhouse Drivers Driver award where the winner will receive $150 cash & a few beers with Dolby. This is how it works, Each driver will be required before the B Main to tell the Great Southern Slam official who they think is the Driver voted as fairest & best for the day, doesn’t have to be on track success, or even winning the most heats, it could be as simple as someone who helped a lot of the drivers out, so on race day when your asked who your vote is for, think carefully because the name you come up with could be the same person who says your name to the same official. Dolby wasn't satisfied with one award for the Slam so he came up in 2019 to also back the Great Southern Slam - Brought to You By Boatland Mandurah A Main Hard Charger award, $150 to the driver who advances the most positions in the feature race, that includes a driver who has a moment & is shuffled right up the back & comes through to a leading position, its the driver who passes the most karts for position throughout the whole race. HearthHouse Mandurah was Established over 35 years ago, Hearth House started as a one-man store selling potbelly’s. The company has grown into Western Australia’s most trusted heating and cooling solutions provider. We have installed more home heating and cooling systems than any other company in the state, and we are renowned for our outstanding levels of customer service. Mark & Kim Davis took over ownership of the Mandurah store in 2008 after working with Hearth House since 1993. Over the years, Mark became a licensed plumber, gas fitter and refrigeration installer, which qualified him as the go-to person for all Hearth product applications. His experience has helped grow the company to what it is today; a trusted source for products and services in the field of air conditioning and fireplaces. Hearth House Mandurah moved to its current location where we created an interactive showroom displaying our top of the range products. We focus on having the latest up-to-date products and supplying what the customer needs, not what we want to sell. Our aim is to give the best quality service and installation to all our customers. Our plan for the future is to focus on customer service, with regular reminders to clients to keep their products in the best condition. We would like to eventually move to a bigger premise with better parking and even more warehouse space for additional products. Trust Hearth House for qualified staff, from our showroom manager and customer service people to our installation team and sales crew. Our personalised service is renowned because when it comes to heating or cooling, Hearth House is an expert for all domestic and commercial applications. Contact us today.

08.01.2022 A message from John Halford regarding online nomination system. The WA Clubs are all moving to an updated Nomination System. The new system no longer requires members to create an zoho account or WA Nomination System User Account.... The Driver Profiles in the new system will be added and managed by representatives from each club. The profiles now only contain the AIDKA Licence Number, Name, Club and Driver Level. The main change that will be required will be the Driver Level when a driver moves from Rookie to Junior or Junior to Senior. Just contact you club and they will be able to change the Driver Level for you. The Nomination Forms and Reports are all now public so anybody can submit the nominations. The other change is that anybody can nominate any of the available drivers that are in the system so you will see a full list of AIDKA Licence numbers. When entering a driver just just start typing the licence number after selecting the licence field and the number will be selected. If you have any questions please contact your club and they will be able to assist.

08.01.2022 Just over 24 hours until nominations close!! Don't miss our final club day of 2020.
