One way of motorising your points is to use old Telecom relays to throw the points. They have been widely used by many clubs and countless individuals. EMRC started using them in 1980, and thought we would share the information.

Any money you can donate will be gratefully received and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The Loch Community Development Association has been invited to attend a meeting with South Gippsland Shire Council to discuss their next steps with a proposed rail trail through our communities, following their recent confirmation of an 18 year lease on the rail corridor. We are mindful there are people in the community that are supportive of a tourist rail option, as proposed by Southern Rail Group. We would welcome your views on priorities for these two initiatives.
