The Australian Drivers Championship held at Globe Derby was an expensive exercise to host and run, what with airfares for drivers to travel to Adelaide from around the country, plus accommodation, entertainment and meals.

And why, given the past […]

I only met Denise once, in passing, but I immediately sensed her strength and kindness and warmth, and knew then […]
