Rescheduled to Saturday, March 23
This event was originally scheduled for January 19th and was postponed due to adverse weather.
We have agreed this new date with the landowner and neighbouring clubs.
All details below are as originally intended
except that registration and starts have been made somewhat later
in line with the later sunset time.
Final Details: A copy of the event handout is available in advance as a PDF, here.
Friday, 7pm: THE EVENT IS ON, DESPITE THE WEATHER DOING ITS BEST TO REPRISE THE CONDITIONS ON JANUARY 19th.
If weather is unexpectedly bad on Saturday and we are forced to cancel on the day, we will do our best to post a message on the WAOC website.
