32 members and potential members attended the club for lunch and the running of the Melbourne Cup. This was the first get-together that members had a chance of attending as a group since the Sydney Zoo excursion on June 21, (due to Covid Shutdown). Getting the chance to chat and enjoy a nice meal was a welcomed change, and a sign that life will begin to get back to a new normal. Of course we had a flutter on the race, and the all too popular cup sweeps held by the club gave you an odds on chance of picking a winner. Some won, some lost, but it didn't matter, as this once a year gamble helped get you into the swing of the celebrations.
