23.01.2022 G/Day Enthusiasts, unfortunately GME had to cancel 2020 Mount Porcupine Hillclimb scheduled for next weekend, Covid has meant a lot of paperwork to run and enter a Motorsport event, as well NSW govt shrunk greatly the area that entries can come from, in the last week. Result was not enough Hillclimb Entries to be a viable event. GME has a good Covid plan to keep competitors and community safe, maybe we can test it next year?, General Meeting 12 sept. Thanks for your support, suggestions welcome
