MELBOURNE CUP TOURNAMENT 2008
- 6 Nov 2008
- Waikanae Golf Club
- Building on previous years of experience, the organising committee comprising Stu McLaren (as always supported by Jane), Grant Waterhouse, Barry Lee, Blair Coburn and Paul Charlesworth, created an extravaganza unrivaled on the Kapiti Coast. This year the event included an all day free BBQ (kindly sponsored by Tegal Chicken) and an outside bar (subsidised by DB Breweries) both manned by Stu McLaren. The 14th hole had a “triple your money” opportunity fot those fancying their ability - thanks to Brian Futter. A new innovation this year was a live TAB terminal in the clubhouse - kindly supplied and skillfully manned by the one and only Gary “I REALLY MUST GO HOME” Mabey. Thanks again Chopper!!! Once again Barry Lee organised a very successful sweepstake in conjunction with the Big Race! The main winners being Chris Turner, The Fourskins syndicate and House. Courtesy of PANASONIC and in conjunction with HARVEY NORMAN Coastlands Branch, we were able to showcase a ‘top of the line’ overhead projection unit to provide fullscale race coverage all day! It is with great pride that the organising committee can announce that due to the financial success of the day, this high tech unit is to be purchased and will become a permanent feature of the lounge, to enable vastly improved coverage of future sporting events. Many thanks to ALL who contributed and supported this fine event.
