IT’S shaping up to be a State of Origin clash with a twist at Billycarts on the Border this Saturday, 22 October.
Wallangarra’s Glenlyon Street will be the scene of some serious backyard billycart action – and a ‘grudge match’ race-off between the region’s newspapers, including the Southern Free Times, which will be represented at the wheel by none other than popular photographer Terry West.
The Billycarts on the Border program kicks off with registration from 8.30am and all are welcome to sign up on the day before 10am – as early as possible preferred – or beforehand by visiting the website.
It’s mainly about the kids but the grown-ups can take part in the Border 1000 race for senior 16 years and over.
The other categories include five to seven years, eight to 11 years and 12 to 15 years.
There will be heaps of food and market stalls and activity for the kids so come along for a great family day out of racing.
8.30am: Scrutineering and registration. No registrations after 10am.
