Alexandra Race day

 

From Ian Symons

 

Hi Fellow Rotarians 

 

As you will be aware I am organising for our club to go to the Alexandra Cup Race Meeting on March 5th 2016.


Entry is free into the track we only have to pay for lunch approx $25.00 a head. I will have the exact price in the next month.

 

I have booked 12 cottages at Stonelea Country Estate  Acheron.  Each cottage has a double bed or if you require 2 singles and an ensuite.  A cooked breakfast is included in the price of $129.00 per cottage. Usual cost is $149.00.  Stonelea is 10km out of Alexandra (all motels in Alex are booked out ).

 

John Sharwood is trying to organise a Mini Bus to transport us I have arranged for us to get in to the cottages around 11.00am so we can call at the Cottages prior to going to the races.


We will go to the races then come back to freshen up prior to going to the Golf club for Dinner We will be with other Rotarians from Alexandra and possibly some other clubs.

 

I require a CASH deposit of $50.00 per couple to secure you a cottage this will need to be paid before the end of January

 

The names I have going are

  Wilson
  Prior
  Willoughby
  Simcox

Quote of the Week
 
But then I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second. ~Helen Fielding, "Sunday 1 January," Bridget Jones's Diary, 1996
