March 2021 run & dinner
The weather in the days before (and after) the planned March event had been perfect with maxima in the mid 20s, cool evenings with a few rainy days earlier that reduced the need to water the gardens. This was the first time the AMOC SA had held a mid week evening run and so Area […]
