Well it is with great enthusiasm that we can announce that after a great deal of effort on the part of the FOMsa committee. We have managed to secure an under cover site for the first FOMsa Winter Undercover Swap Meet. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board & Management team at Greyhound Racing SA for seeing the value in the great work we do to raise money for medical research here in SA. The provision of the undercover area at their Angle Park facility goes a long way to make this event a success from the onset. so please give us your full support.

Great news, as you are aware there have been road works on the bridge adjacent to the main entry to the Oval. We have been informed that Traffic Management officers will be on hand to regulate traffic flow and override the automated traffic light system to speed up the entry of Rider groups to the Oval.
All is going well with the planning for EMD, but please note there have been road works on the bridge over Junction Creek adjacent to the main entrance to the grounds. Some traffic management measures may still be in place so we advise to use great care when entering & exiting the grounds. your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
