Well done team Jockey Club!

Dear Editor

I would like to say a big thank you to all the volunteers who made the Hay Races such a great day.

I would like to point out that we have so much work going on behind the scenes throughout the year, and for our small committee to take on this is a mammoth challenge and pull off a success day with the weather against us is a huge positive for the Hay Jockey Club and the town.

I know the chasing of sponsors, logistics, paperwork and many other tasks are a full-time job. Sometimes looking back if we got paid for all our hours we would be living like kings. But our small committee has a wonderful council and town to support us.

I know personally the physical work to prep the grounds and what seems a bigger task the next day is the packing up. Our small committee got great satisfaction out of the hard work, and to have a successful race day is a tribute to our club.

I am pretty sure everyone who turned up enjoyed the day as we have been waiting for this day to come due to Covid cancelling it three years in a row.

We always need volunteers and members, so please support our Hay races and keep this tradition going by joining our club.

Paul Edwards.
