CONGRATULATIONS DALE MCGRATH

We sincerely thank everyone who shared our posts or bought a ticket in our major raffle. We were so thrilled with the response and the result means the reality of a horse walker at the training centre may happen sooner rather than later.

it is so important to keep developing this aspect of our club for the benefit of our sport, club and our great little town.

When it does happen it will be a great pleasure to adorn it with all of your names.

Go Charlton Trots and Go all you generous supporters!

CHARLTON TROTS MEETING THURSDAY DEC 3rd

This meeting will be open to racing participants only- no public or owners will be admitted.

Hopefully everyone will be welcomed back on course by our January meeting.

FUNDRAISING FOR A HORSE WALKER

The Charlton Harness Racing Club has undertaken an ambitious fundraising campaign to raise money for a horse walker at the Charlton Training Centre. It is a top priority of the club to continue to develop this precinct and attract more trainers to settle here in Charlton. We encourage all members to get behind this initiative- if we all do a little big things can be achieved!!

DRAWN 11th DECEMBER

Charlton is very excited to have a race meeting on the biggest race day in Australia – Melbourne Cup Day November 3rd.

Whilst it is most disappointing not to be able to have people on course we hope that all our members and followers follow along on Sky racing and Trots Vision and remember to SAVE A BET FOR THE BUSH!

The Charlton Harness Racing Club welcomes all our members and supporters to take a role in helping to develop the great asset that we have in the Training Centre on the Back St.Arnaud Rd.

The aim is to step by step, dollar by dollar turn it into a state of the art centre that will hopefully entice trainers to settle here and secure Charlton as a viable and progressive harness racing hub.

The club has set in motion a series of fundraising events and initiatives to kick off this dream and we feel that it is indeed achievable if everybody takes part on a small level.

MEMBERSHIP TOP UP

As members will be receiving their new season packages now an option is to add $10 to their remittance to start this campaign.

LUCKY LOSER LOCKDOWN 3

During lockdown we have been running tipping competitions and $5 from every entrant from Lockdown 3 will go towards the walker. Thanks to everyone who is participating in this – great fun!

This is a huge undertaking but with the help of our members we think it would be tremendous achievement and go a long way to securing the future of our club.

If you would like to donate towards this you can do so by depositing into the club account – reference WALKER.

Everyone who contributes to this initiative will get their name displayed on the walker.
