Despite the cold and wet conditions this new off road run was a hit with members and guests!

Next week is a very special week for the club as we continue our tradition of dressing up and raising money for a local charity! St Giles…
This is not a race, in fact its more about having a laugh and a little run in the bush (at the Hoo Hoo Hut in the Trevallyn Reserve) while we raise some much needed funds for people doing great work in our community.
Our amazing sponsor, Phil from Haymes Paint donates ALL his sponsorship money and throws in some fun spot prizes. Best Costume, Silliest Costume, Best Character, Best Sporting Hero, Best … etc (ideas about costume prizes would be great? 🙂 )
Entry is OPEN now and closes a little later than normal, on Friday at 8pm as we will not have handicaps. We will be taking on the day entry (cash/card) BUT if you can enter online that will make things a little easier on the day 🙂
The Haymes Paint Charity Fancy Dress run is open to everyone, so bring your friends along – $5 adult, $3 children.
Plus we’ll have sausages on the BBQ for a gold coin donation – all proceeds to St Giles 🙂
