24.01.2022 Hi all. Well the racing season is over. Was an up and down season with Covid 19 restrictions interrupting some of our plans but nevertheless we managed to get quite a few races completed. Rex Perkins won 2 races in the early short series and Graeme and Jamie raced on into the long series sending some of their birds to Lascelles and Mildura. Graeme took out the John Ellis Memorial trophy from a Mildura race. On Sunday 6th December at 12.30pm we are having a get together up at our Club rooms. Bring along meat for the BBq and a small salad plus your favourite drink. This is not a meeting. Just a friendly bbq. See you there.
