A huge thank you to everyone who attended our final race meeting of the season yesterday.
It was an incredible day filled with laughter and fun. We even had a mankini race!
After racing, we enjoyed a fantastic barbecue to celebrate Ken Pearson’s birthday today.
It’s been a privilege and honour to keep his memory alive and ensure his track remains in use.
We didn’t take many photos yesterday but we have some coming and they’ll be up soon.
Keep an eye on the page for details about next season.
