Friday Flyers Sessions
We will not be running our 5-6pm Flyers session on a Friday for the time being as the majority of kids that attended this are now attending Friday night Junior Racing and the Baxter and Neilson series.
Our Wednesday Flyers session will continue as usual and Wheelers sessions remain unaffected.
