In conjunction with the Starlight Foundation, the Belconnen Magpies hosted a race day at Thoroughbred Park in Mitchell. The day saw a packed function room with sponsors, supporters and representatives from the club seeing a full card of entertaining racing. There wasn't too much time for those assembled to win too much on the punt though as the day was filled with events like a fashion parade, memorabilia auction and a raffle.
By all accounts the event was a roaring success and is likely to be the first of many in the coming years. Once again the day saw a late (or early!) finish for many of those present but all feedback has been nothing but positive.
The next club function will be a themed trivia night a few weeks into the season. A full social calendar will be thrown up on the site soon.
