Melbourne Cup in the Valley 2011
1 Dec 11
A delightful setting at the Bowling Club, beautiful weather and a happy group of people all ensured a wonderful Cup Day Luncheon event.
As Angus Kennedy sagely remarked, ‘It’s the best dressed day in the Valley’.
The Committee wishes to thank Nikki and Gerald for the excellent luncheon and the Club Manager, Stuart Christison for his unfailing support.
A big thank you to Jo Wilmott who lent her beautiful Miscellaneum jewellery for the fashion parade.
Through the generosity of many donors, there was a variety of interesting prizes for the Raffle and the Hat Parade drew record competitors; making the judges’ task extremely difficult.
The Committee wishes to thank the eighty people who made the effort to ‘dress up’ for the occasion and offer monetary support for CMRI.
There were also several generous donations from members of the community and this contributed to the total of $2500 raised on the day. Thank you to all.
This year we were fortunate to have special help with the decorations from the talented Quietta and the resulting colour and innovations certainly gave the WOW factor to the venue.
Another Cup and another winner for the record books.
See you all next November.
