Newcastle Toy Run, 3rd Dec, https://www.newcastletoyrun.com.au/

December 10th. Maddie Hill breast cancer day,

Newcastle Go-Kart track, Cameron Park.
Is shaping up to be another top day and we will be running the Rocker cover racing on the
day so I will need a couple of helpers to run that.
It would be great to see the club get behind this and support Maddie and Barry who do so
much for the car community.
