Our November general meeting is coming up next Tuesday, the 10th of November, 2015, and we’d love for you to join us!
We’re going to be adding a little speed to the evening by heading to the slot cars at Armchair Racer in Artarmon. We’ve booked the track from 6pm until 8:30PM, with racing set to start at 6:30PM.
The “formal” racing will be held with cars provided by Armchair Racer. You are, however, most welcome to bring along your own cars to have some fun before we kick off, and after the racing concludes.
As usual we will be providing pizza and soft drinks, along with our fabulous company. If you’d like to have anything else to eat or drink please bring it along.
We look forward to catching up with everyone on Tuesday the 10th of November!
Location: Armchair Racer, 1/18 Hotham Parade, Artarmon (very close to Simply Sports Cars)
Timing: We have the track booked from 6-8.30; racing will start at 6.30
