Obviously COVID has changed the way we can race each Saturday, the committee has worked hard to ensure we meet the rules set by Twin Towns, Tweed Shire and others. The following rules are how we are able to race.
Please see a committee member to raise any concerns about the rules. We might not be able to change what we have but we are always open to ideas.
