An Update.........



GREAT NORTH RALLY UPDATE: CONFIRMING MORE GOOD NEWS

I have been to MRT today, and discussed THE GREAT NORTH RALLY" with Brett Middleton.

As a result and due to the fact that our Club is running this for Riding for the Disabled, and inviting other participants, he has opened up the "till" and given me $750 worth of prizes !!! WOW !! which will be raffled on the day.

I then called on Nick and Mary at NRG who had already spoken to Darryl. Again Nick was very impressed that our Club is running this for Charity and inviting other participants. As a result he also has opened up his heart and the "til" and given me a great heap of stuff to bring back which will also be raffled on the day.

I hope we, as members of this club support these business throughout the year in recognition of what they do.

If it's on, just drive to the conditions.

Any more than 3 or 4 cars will likely mean you are wandering along at a slow pace anyway unless you are one of the front 2. Other traffic on the road will mean you won't get a chance to play.
