    Unfortunately, due to the continued wet weather, we have made the reluctant decision to cancel the Motorkhana scheduled for Sunday, July 23rd. That said, with a positive long-range forecast and continued work to improve drainage around the grounds, we are highly optimistic that our August 13th Motorkhana will be all systems go – watch this space for updates!

    Where: Form A Sign, 167 Browns Rd, Noble Park North

    Following the fantastic success of our most recent working bee, we are looking to keep the momentum rolling this weekend!

    WHEN: Sunday 16th of July, 9am start

    WHERE: 21 Key Lane, Pakenham

    A sausage sizzle will be held at around midday for all volunteers present

    This working bee's main priority is general mowing, whipper snipping and tidying up around the clubhouse, ensuring that the grounds are ready for next weekend’s HRA event and our very own Come & Try Day.

    Many hands make light work, with some of the other items we are looking to tick off the list including:

    → Removing all rocks/rubbish around the clubhouse and burying the blue line pipe

    → Repair the smudger back to its former glory, and move it from the front of the clubhouse

    → Replacing a power point (a qualified sparky would be most welcomed!)

    → Cleaning the toilet blocks

    → Sort out the scrap metal pile

    → Re-stacking items onto pallets, making moving assets a little easier

    → FUN GAMES! A fire extinguisher hunt, plus musical tables (i.e. arrange our metal tables in a usable fashion for visitors)

    If you possess a skillset, trade, or ability to do anything that would, could or should benefit the club, please let us know - we will be more than happy to put you to use!

    Also, you can mark down Sunday, August 6th, for our next working bee.

    If you would like more information, please call Anthony Kealy on 0414 733 621.

    Unfortunately the Committee has decided to cancel tomorrow night's (Monday 26 June) meeting.

    Basically, it's too wet at Key Lane.

    The area in front of the clubrooms is very wet and won't support a vehicle. The front paddock is ok but the access has also developed a very wet patch and we can't guarantee getting out. With luck, this can be fixed with some agi and crushed rock.

    The next meeting will be on Monday 24 July, hopefully at Key Lane but we will let you know as soon as possible.

    If anyone needs Club Plate Renewals signed please contact Antony Franks on 0429 099353 to arrange an alternative time.

    The Committee apologises for any inconvenience.

    LEARN OUR NEW TIMING SYSTEM

    Late notice, but this coming Saturday 3rd June I am running a training session on how to use our timing system.

    Starting at 1pm we will cover all aspects of the system:

    description of the various components

    turning on and off (its not as simple as it sounds)

    setting up the beams and laptop

    operating the software

    We obviously can't run an event without timekeepers. This session is an opportunity for competitors, family and other volunteers to to learn the system so we can share the load.

    For further info, any questions or expression of interest please contact me on 0407552047 or selica.ta22@gmail.com

    thank you

    Leon
