We are excited to announce that our Yarck property - at which Trevor and few others became bogged last year (!!!) - is in beautiful condition for this weekend's trial. Water in the dams, hills and gullies but the ground is firm. The weather looks fantastic.

Directions to the property:

The trial is about 15 minutes from Alexandra or about 30 minutes from Yea. Approximately 2 kilometres from the Yarck Hotel, travelling towards Merton, turn right onto gravel driveway. Please take care as the Maroondah Highway speed limit is 100 kph and it is a very busy road, particularly Fridays and Sundays. Here is the link to the map:

Toilet provided. Camping from 12pm Friday 28th February. Vetting, presentations and catering will be located on the left hand side after the entry gate in the shed.

Judy Johnson will be selling raffle tickets to raise funds for the 2020 SA Nationals. $5/ticket and there will be a table full of prizes much the same as Vic National so heaps to choose from. And prize winners not able to attend will have a prize chosen and forwarded to them.

And of course Leanne's light catering will be available on site from around 10am-ish
