Chairmans Report — February 2018

Chairmans Report — February 2018 We are clearly experiencing some interesting weather at the moment.  Hot one day and raining the next!  Such extremes make planning runs and events very challenging.  So, given this fact, it was certainly wise to cancel the Australia Day Run with the 40 degree forecast – it was a very hot Australia Day long weekend all up.  I know many of you were looking forward t ...[Read More]
