Good! Once we can set up some sort of basic system we can then throw it alll open for the members to vote on positions, and all the other items being discussed.
Thankyou for your time and please feel free to email me any time to discuss these and any other issues that may and probably will come up in the future.
I will be happy to take any enquiries to the committee.
Looking forward to PB racing growth in South OZ!!!
