With over 150 members and guests, this year’s Melbourne Cup was an outstanding success.
Spring Carnival fever hit Karrinyup with fascinators, frocks, outrageous ties, glamourous hats and plenty of bubbles. Racegoers arrived bright and early and were treated to complimentary champagne and canapes in the main bar while they purchased their sweepstakes tickets and prepared for the big race with anticipataion. With Fiorente coming in first followed by a close 2nd and 3rd, there were some happy punters collecting their winnings. Fran Goddard was the lucky winner of the “Quinella” taking home $200! Members & guests proceeded to the dining room for a magnificent 3 course meal where the judging of the prizes took part. President Chris Carey and his wife Pam judged the best dressed male (John Halley complete with US$100 bow tie), best dressed female (Anne Marie Carter), best hat/fascinator (Karly Dehring) and best tie – once again Andrew van der Meer. Lucky door prizes were also awarded to 3 happy people, . A great day was had by everyone in attendance with some quoting they were already getting their table together for next year!!!
