Grenfell Kart Club
After much thought and consideration after our recent committee meeting recently the Grenfell Kart Club decided to cancel its first meeting for 2020.
"We have decided to cancel our first club meet on March 1 to allow more time, preparation and affordability towards Round Two of the Southern Stars at Grenfell on the March 14-15," the club said.
Despite the cancellation the Grenfell Kart Club track will be available for practice up until March 7 with the track closed for the week prior to the Southern Stars Round.
"We apologise for any (in)convenience this may have caused and we thank you for your cooperation," the club said.
The Grenfell Kart Club invites all members to a working bee on February 29.
The track will be closed for practise from 8am until midday (TBA) for track and surrounding maintenance prior to Round Two of the Southern Stars Grenfell Round on March 14-15.
Please send the club an inbox through its Facebook page if you are interested in coming out and assisting on the day.

Grenfell Netball Association
I have had lots of kids asking when Junior Mixed Netball is starting up again so I thought I'd better get organised.
We will be playing on Thursday afternoons from 4.30 - 5.15pm, hopefully starting Thursday February 27.
Pending numbers we will have three age groups again - ranging from kindergarten to Year 8.
If you could comment on the Facebook post on the Grenfell Netball Association or PM if your child is interested please include their age in your comment/PM.
The cost will be $10 per child plus $3.50 for bowling club membership.
Children need to be members of the Bowling Club for insurance, so please include your membership receipt with registration form.
No child can take the court until registration form and membership is complete.
Looking forward to it!
