The weekend kick started with the Good Friday golf competition, followed by the Gilgandra Speedway with hundreds of people in attendance. One race goer said that the Good Friday Speedway was “one of the best attended races Gil has seen in a long while.” With more family fun flowing into Saturday, the tractor pull brought people to town from all over Australia. The weekend was full of fun, spirit and community, with all visitors loving their stay.
