OK so at the AGM there was a bit of talk about maintenance days and how hard it's been to coordinated weekends.
Friday afternoons were suggested as a better alternative as some have RDOs, some have earlyy knock offs and, well it just doesn't interfere with weekend family time.
You'll need:
Essential
Study shoes, appropriate clothing for the weather, food and water, basic first aid kit/snake bandage (as per what you'd generally have while riding).
Optional
Rakes, shovels, wheel barrows, whipersnippers (if not high fire danger day).

Lake Canobolas MTB Park - Working Bee
Front gate. Lake Canobolas Road. Opposite the entrance to Lake Canobolas.
Please DO NOT park on the side of the road here, if the gate is shut then park at the Lake and walk/ride across.
No Pets.
We're planning a working bee to get some more things sorted out in the entrance area.
Our previous working bee was very productive where we got all the posts in for a fence and moved the sign (but it hasn't been installed in the new location yet).
We'll likely be installing the sign or working on the skills track. More details closer to the date.
