Additionally we see no problem if competitors wish to blend the supplied castor based fuel with the supplied Cool power based fuel. Pilot briefing Saturday 11 th on the field at 0930. Accommodation:Due to Willowbank Raceway running a meeting on the Queens Birthday weekend annually, accommodation in local Motels is generally booked out year to year. Camping is available at the field with multiple shower and toilet facilities for both male and female visitors. In addition to space for caravans and motor homes there are now two cabins available at a nominal cost. Cabin reservations are to be made via me as the Grattons will be away for a few days. Catering is nominally on a BYO basis except for the availability of hot water with tea and coffee supplied by the Club. Please return your entries to Jim Hardy via jch_7@bigpond.com or by calling 07 546 798 56 re your intentions as the number of pre entries will determine the expenditure on Trophy’s or other momentos or whether we simply supply morning and afternoon tea.
