Here's an opportunity to help out at your nearest XC race venue - ie Yellomundee Regional Park (it's only 55 minutes from Lindfield, the same time as getting to Ourimbah):

Upcoming advocacy events would normally appear here, but things are a little quiet at the moment and it's empty.

Don't be shy - this is a community site so if you're out there working post your meeting.

Following on from the wildly successful inter-agency weekend lantana lash of a few weeks ago, I present to you the mid week "Turgid" lantana lash. This is to enable those shift workers that are off during the week to get fair up it. Meeting at the Shaw's Farm gate at 0900 hrs to rendezvous with Glassy, Danny and Vickii we will proceed to tear the stinking lantana a new one! Duration of play will be approximately 4 hours, but if you can't stay that long, worry less. You are free to depart at your whim.

Hi all, WSMTB will be carrying out some track work at Yellomundee on Sunday 11 March (9.30am - 12) to get what tracks we can back into reasonable condition. All riders with an interest are welcome to attend - even mores so if you are a YRP user. We need whipper snippers and cutters. BBQ by WSMTB afterwards - and hopefully a ride. Volunteers received 10 points toward the club xc series point score.

Weather updates will be posted on www.wsmtb.com and on the club FB page.

Please contact me at xc@wsmtb.com if you can come.

thanks
