🚨 Public Running Day Cancelled 🚨
Unfortunately we have some bad news. Due to the large amount of water that has entered the club grounds, we will not be open to the public this Sunday for our running day.
The heavy rain has caused water damage to our signal system, and the grounds are currently unsafe for trains and visitors.
We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s understanding. We look forward to welcoming you back at our next running day once conditions improve.
Thank you for your support,
Port Augusta Model Engineers Society
