The club held it’s first event of the year. Thanks to Mike for making time to build the course and everyone else for helping out. It was a fun event, maybe a few people had too much fun. The AMP AGM is coming up in March. We will likely discuss whether to hold another winter event if the snow holds up. Looks like another busy year for MMSC, so come out and see what the club has in store for 2012!
