Field News Brief: We were called to a meeting with MCC about relocating the field. We were told they were setting up a temporary strip for us to use until they fill in the gully paddock and create a new strip there. The temporary strip is not really suitable (a little too close to the main road) and we are negotiating in an attempt to remain where we are until the gully paddock strip is ready.
AGM on monday June 2 at the 'Warbirds' club rooms Ardmore 7.30pm
