Just a quick update on what has been happening.

Main Lake Site

The working bee on Sunday 9 March went very well. The driver’s stand rail was sanded back and a couple of coats of varnish were applied. The vegetation along the front was cut back so we now have a clear view of the water, which is a lot safer. A big thanks to all those who contributed, time, materials and equipment to get the job done. The plan now is to keep on top of the vegetation on a fairly regular basis which will keep it manageable. Volunteers with whipper snippers and lawn mowers are welcomed.

Race Software

I have received a copy of the official AMPBA race software for the club. The software will assist in scheduling races by drawing heats, de-conflicting radio frequency clashes between competitors and controlling actual races. Once we get a wiring loom sorted out for the driver’s stand we can look at running our own club races using the software.

Club Website

With the change of our original name to fit in with incorporation requirements, I have registered a new domain name for our website. I have now transferred the site over to the new domain. While I still have a few things to fix up on the photos side of things, the site is fully functional. However, I had to wipe clean the user registrations from the old site so everyone will need to re-register. I have also included a discussion forum on the new site for use by members.
