You will see the QR code on posters

The restrictions of Covd-19 have shown us that it is even more important that we
make use of the MSNZ 'Possum' on-line system for event entries. We understand
that using the system can be confusing and frustrating, so if you are having issues
entering our events on-line, please phone us for help.
You can also visit our office so we can show you the ropes or, if need be, get your
profile information set up (which makes the on-line entries much easier to use),
we just ask that you avoid Friday's, as we are usually busy on track with a Race
