E NEWS 8 JUNE 16




Please note the change of location for our event on Sunday.

With Dripstone Park and surrounds under reconstruction, president Tony Cox has been busy behind the scenes gaining permits and making the necessary changes to sanctioning etc to enable the move to Knuckey Lagoon Recreation Reserve - details below.

Work is progressing on our new event calendar for 2016 | 2017.  We hope to have that finalised soon.  In the meantime there are a zillion dry season events coming up. Enjoy!
