Narrative:
We were at nut tree doing touch-and-go's and were together with 2 other aircraft using left traffic for runway 2, when we were about 50 ft off the runway for landing, approximately 1000 ft down the runway, there was an small aircraft twin landing opposite direction (runway 20) with no prior radio communications. All 3 of us used the radio for traffic pattern reports. The small aircraft twin landed as we did a go around and taxied to the restaurant.
