Chairman's Chat

October 31, 2024

Welcome to our new website that we have developed with the help of Barrett Squires. Our goal was to bring you an up to date website that showcases the club well and highlights all the good work that is carried out year on year by our army of observers and committee members.

This will be a journey and we will look to make improvements along the way

  • We will use it to access planned events
  • We will be calling on members to submit content in the form of interviews and stories.
  • We will use it as a platform to celebrate achievements.
  • We will use it to promote road safety.
