Big thanks to George, Craig, John & Keith for going over to do work on the track on Monday. There were parts of the track covering drains that needed digging up and raising and turf being laid which could only be done once work was completed by the footballers to their pitches. We've now been offered a temporary track to run on until our own track can be used and i believe this one is very good too. Both tracks were being rolled on Tuesday.

So we're hoping to start back on Wednesday 11th April 6.30pm start :thumbsup:

First meeting of the straight season tonight. Start 6.30pm but any help earlier to set up would be appreciated by those of us who are coming straight from work.
