Hello folks,

Great to see nearly everyone back on the track last Saturday.  A few on holidays but it was business as usual for the rest of us which was great to see.

Families, we have a physotherapist on board this Saturday, her name is Lauren and she is from Life Ready Physio in South Perth.  She will be stationed inside the fence right next to the marshalling area from 7.30 to 9am.   If you or anyone of your family members have any niggles or concerns please pop in and see her and she will be more than willing to help out.

Program 3 this week too!

All the best!

Its a warm welcome back to the track folks,
