Horizon
Thank you Trust Horizon! Earlier this year we applied for a grant from Trust Horizon towards our annual power costs and we are delighted to announce that we have been successful with a $2000 grant. This will go a very long way towards meeting our costs which are a significant part of our yearly budget. Trust Horizon have provided this pool of funding to assist sporting clubs and community groups like ourselves meet some of the ever increasing running costs that need to be covered every year and we are very grateful to have been awarded funding.

Melbourne Cup

It was lovely to see a good turn out for the Melbourne Cup and all the beautiful outfits and hats.  Lee Willetts and Maureen Gibbs won best dressed and Sue Clark won the best home made hat.  Unfortunately we haven't got any photos of Lee and Maureen (sorry Ladies).  

The new tablecloths were unveiled for the day.  Colleen Campbell very kindly donated the money for these and Jenny Jones and her team sewed them.  A great team effort.

Thank you to all who  made it a successful event and helped raise money for the SPCA.
