TRACK UPGRADE

The 2010-2011 LAS Season will see a well needed upgrade of the track surface take place over the Christmas break. While Bayside Council has scheduled this to avoid disruption to our season, we are conscious that the project may have an impact on the program.

We are working on contingencies to minimise the potential impact and will communicate with all members throughout the project to avoid inconvenience. We thank you in advance for your understanding.
