Logging On
Members require an e-mail address to log on to the advanced facilities of this website. Where households share the same e-mail address, only one username is possible.
If you experience any problems logging on, please contact webmaster@macastro.org.au
Don’t forget to tell us if your e-mail address changes. E-mail is our primary means of direct communication with all our members. Please contact us with your new details at membership@macastro.org.au.
Stargard
Stargard sessions are normally scheduled for Saturdays, because we recognise the needs of members who may have weekday jobs to go to.
In the event of a doubtful weather forecast, events may be either cancelled, postponed or brought forward. If an event is in doubt, before setting out, members should check both here and our social media pages.
