Gates will open at 7:30am and we would like to see many club members attend. Please note that the undercovered area is reserved for AGM.

05.01.2022 **ANNOUNCEMENT** Change of dates for our next race meeting. Our next club day being the 6th September falls on Father's Day. The Committee have decided to bring this meeting forward a week and is to be held this Sunday 30th August. Due to the new NSW community sport recommendations to run competitions with competitors from within your own boundaries or zones the club has had to put the following in place.... You may compete if you reside within 100km of Newcastle RC Raceway, Williamtown. The Southern boundary being the Hawkesbury River,Western boundary being Muswellbrook and the Northern boundary being Gloucester. If you live outside of these boundaries you cannot race at Newcastle RC Raceway until the NSW sport recommendations have been lifted. We realise this will effect a few members who live outside of these boundaries. To be fair the committee have decided that the driver pointscore associated with club race days will be put on hold until all competitors can attend. If these sporting recommendations only last 6 weeks it will only effect two race meetings. Fingers crossed NORCCC Committee
