A. Brewer). - "We are expecting a bumper crowd because the trophy race has attracted a large and fiercely competitive entry and because the opening rounds of the Tasman Championship at Levin and Pukekohe were exceptionally well patronised," , he said. 'Therefore it is particulariy Important that everyone ari-. ing to and from Wigram and! while at the airfieid itself, obey implicitly the directions of Ministry of Transport and police oficers as well as RNZAF staff and our own officials who help out on the day. By doing this patrons would contribute to their own pleasure and that of others and would also ensure that the meeting would not be marred by accidents, he said. LITTER "Litter, and particularly broken glass, constitutes very real hazard on the airfield and I would ask patrons to take their bottles away with them if! possible and the same applies to other rubbish. "It is no use blinding oneself to the fact that motor racing can be a dangerous sport and I hope everyone will keep this in mind for their own safety and that of others and follow directions of all officiais," Mr Brewer concluded. NEW PARKING AREAS "As heavy vehicles can cause a tremendous amount of damage to the airfield, I wish to warn those who are contemplating bringing them that they will not be permitted in the usual spectator areas this! year but will be directed to parking areas well away from the circuit. "The club is very fortunate in being able to stage the meet-i ing at Wigram and I would ask patrons to respect air force property and keep away from the areas which are shown in the accompanying illustration as being out of bounds, " Mr Brewer continued.
