🏁 WE'RE BACK! 🏁
What an incredible journey this has been!
On behalf of the committee, I want to say a massive thank you to every single member, volunteer and local business that has helped make our off-road track rebuild a reality. This project has taken months of hard work, planning and dedication, and without the support of our amazing club community, it simply wouldn't have happened.
A huge thank you to everyone who has turned up to the countless working bees, whether it was for an hour or an entire weekend. Digging dirt, driving machinery, laying pipe, rolling the track, painting, w**d control, cleaning up or simply lending a hand wherever needed – every single job has helped get us to where we are today.
A special shout out goes to our incredible local supporters:
👏 Reliable Water Solutions Reliable Water Solutions – Thank you for your continued support of our club and helping us keep this project moving forward.
👏 Construction – Your generosity with machinery and equipment has been invaluable. We simply couldn't have achieved what we have without your support.
👏 Flow Coat Painting – For donating equipment, materials, time and countless hours of labour to help bring this project together.
👏 and Michael and the team from Quorrie for materials to make it all happen
Supporting local businesses that support local clubs is what keeps community sport alive, and we encourage everyone to support the businesses that support us.
After months of rebuilding, reshaping and resurfacing, WE ARE BACK! 🎉
With only a few cosmetic jobs left to complete, we're excited to announce that we'll be holding a Test & Tune this Sunday on our brand-new off-road track layout! 🏎️💨
This is a great opportunity for all members to come down, check out the new layout, turn some laps, give us feedback and celebrate getting our off-road facility back up and running. We can't wait to see everyone enjoying the track again!
Let's make this Sunday a great one and show everyone what our club can achieve when we all pull together. See you all at the track! 💪🏁 keep a eye out for up and coming working bees to get the finishing touches done 👌👌
