latest news..

REGISTRATION  ON LINE IS NOW CLOSED

We've had a very late run on  registrations and enquiries since we closed registrations on Sunday.

We are not wanting to turn people away but logistics of this event really require us to know who's coming in advance so we can plan accordingly.  

We have a few places for people who show up and register and pay in full at the gate, but we are close to our maximum numbers.

Please do  not register late and expect a discount!
