Race Night
The Charity Race Night held on Saturday 31st May was a fun evening. 36 race goers attended and joined in with great enthusiasm. The tote was run by Ian Barber and Michelle Parry who masqueraded as “Captain Von Trapp and Maria”, “Zippy and Bungle” along with a few other famous duos!! The MC for the evening was David James who entertained throughout the evening with his wit and repartee. They did a great job and were much appreciated.
The meal of sausage beans and chips was perfect for an evening at the races and was enjoyed by all. Thanks to the Edwards Bar and Restaurant team.
