Fun and Frivolity The Melbourne Cup
Fun and Frivolity
President Bill extended a very warm vote of thanks to Allan and Barbara (and their helpers) for organising and running the excellent evening to celebrate the running of the Melbourne Cup. The race was exciting although marred by the news that pre-race favourite, Anthony Van Dyck, had to be euthanised after tragically sustaining a fractured fetlock during the race.
Pictures often tell the story better than words, so here are a few moments captured during the evening. Apart from the drinking, chatting and watching, Allan did a wonderful job on the Chocolate Wheel.
