The ANRTC held four trials over the weekend of May 30 and 31st, again having the base at a salt lake near the country town of Meckering. A Novice and All Age stake were conducted on the Saturday, after which a hearty meal supplied by the committee could be had, and, being a very reasonable cost, all the campers took advantage of not cooking for the night. Sunday had a Restricted and another All Age stake, but because of lack of light the previous day to complete the AA trial, the final run for this was held early, before the scheduled events. A great time was had by all who competed, especially the get togethers each night.
