2017 Racing Lunch

What a day! Almost 500 Members, Sponsors and other guests were entertained by Leon Wiegard and his interviews with Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne, new VRC Chairman Amanda Elliott and other racing figures. We were also privileged to hear from the Director of The Ruben Centre, Frank O'Shea, about the amazing developments there in 2017 as well as his team's extraordinary response to some extraordinary events including a major cholera outbreak in May.

Thanks and congratulations to everyone who supported this event: it was our largest ever event by number of attendees, the amount raised for the Ruben Centre ($163,00 and counting) surpassed all previous Spring Racing Lunches, and we now have 208 Members, more than ever before!
