• Eatern Lions (Vic) member Simon Larkin advises he has pulled out of the Queensland and Northern Territory championships. Thing is, he's got non-refundable JetStar tickets for an adult and child, and is now looking to 'forward' these to someone else to get back part of the cost. The tickets run Melbourne>Brisbane>NT>Melbourne. Enquiries to Simon; 0415 235 084.

Enquiries/bookings to David Sera on 0403 274 720.

       • Drilled and safety wired with quality tie wire
           or
       • Have a locking collar with grub screw fitted to the bolt / bolts holding the pads in place
