Hi All,
This is just a quick post to remind everyone your club membership is up for renewal as of the 1st January 2012. So if you do not want a break in your membership go to the Club Rules page and download the up to date membership form in and bring it to the track along with your monies to renew.
We have also introduced a new membership (forgotten to mention at the AGM), Mechanics Membership - this is for the Non racer that requires insurance for being a mechanic and marshalling.
See you all at the track soon, and may I take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas.
