A successful day was had by all at the Charlton Cup 2018. Great weather – at last !and a good crowd all having fun.

Thanks to all the people who helped from the footy club boys in the bar to the St.Joey’s girls in charge of catering to the Smyth’s running the BBQ. Of course there was setting up of marquees which took many hands to complete. The course looked amazing everyone – thank you!

We are lucky to have so many loyal sponsors who again ensured that we had good strong fields for all a quality day of racing. Charlton and District Community Bank, North West Ag Services and The Cricket Club Hotel leading the charge there. Welcome to AMES and MS Security- terrific to have Dale McGrath and Michael Stefanakis on course to be a part of their presentations.

Bubbles 2 was another fun way to start the day raising $3250.00 for Ovarian Cancer Research – thanks to Duncan McPherson, Tanya McDermott and Claire Pysing who all spoke. Special gratitude goes to St.John Of God Bendigo Hospital for again supporting this event – numbers in attendance would suggest ‘ we are making a difference’.

Congratulations to the Cup winners -Clancy’s Fobwatch for Adam Kelly and Zac Phillips and a local win for Ellen Tormey with The Boss Man who lead all the way to win easily the Trotters Cup.
