We had a great turnout for our Derby Day celebration with over 50 people turning up in their Black and White finery.
The event was held at the Owners' Lounge at Thoroughbred Park racecourse. It was strange to see the carpark full, but the racetrack dark and seemingly deserted. But once you got near the Owners Lounge you could hear the excited voices and the popping of champagne corks.
There was champagne on arrival, and then during the afternoon a selection of gourmet foods. We also had a birthday cake to celebrate Kath's recent birthday.
Several members donated hats to the club for sale at the event, and many of the hats sold at bargain prices.
TV monitors around the room showed the various Melbourne races, with bookies and the TAB onsite for those who thought they could pick some winners.
Below are some pictures from the day. If the slideshow doesn't appear, you can view the pictures here.
