A message from Terry Mulcahy - President

The following information was received from Racing Victoria late yesterday and we pass it on to keep you advised … 

IMPORTANT NOTICE 

COVID 19 UPDATE – COUNTRY RACING CALENDAR 

Racing Victoria  [ RV ] in consultation with Country Racing Victoria [CRV ] and the country clubs involved , wish to advise of a series of changes to the country racing calendar in October and November 2020 owing to the COVID-10 pandemic 

All picnic meetings from Saturday 24 October [the scheduled commencement of the 2020-21 picnic racing season] up to and including Saturday 7 November have been cancelled which will affect meetings at Alexandra, Healesville, Mansfield and Balnarring. 

In making today`s announcement, RV and CRV have confirmed that the cancelled meetings will not be rescheduled to another date within the 2020-21 racing season. 

They have also advised that decisions on whether picnic race meetings scheduled from Saturday, 14 November onward proceed will be made closer to the date of each when more information is available regarding the ability of any crowds to attend and the COVID-19 case numbers at the time. 

This is disappointing news to pass on to you but for safety sake we must follow the directive. Thank you all for your continued support of the club and we look forward to seeing you all ‘at the picnics’ in the near future. 

Stay safe.

This time last week Balnarring Picnic Racing Club commemorated the ANZACs. It was incredibly moving to be able to gather again and honour the men and women who have died in armed conflict while serving our country.

Balnarring Picnic Racing Club Saturday Racing 3 December ABANDONED after a track inspection by Racing Victoria

On behalf of the Balnarring Picnic Racing Club committee, we are extremely disappointed to advise that our picnic meeting on Saturday 3rd December will not proceed. The recent rain fall has been significant and the track is not considered suitable for racing. A further 7mm fell overnight, in addition to the 111mm over the previous 14 days. 

Our fabulous home, Emu Plains Reserve, is not in a position to host an event of any type this Saturday. 

This result is devastating for all concerned, however the safety of horses and jockeys is paramount. 

Thank you to all patrons who have purchased tickets and packages. Please be patient as we arrange refunds. 

Thank you to all our generous sponsors and the local businesses who continue to support the club. 

Thank you to our loyal members for their unwavering support. 

Thank you to my fellow committee members who volunteer countless hours to the club and grounds in preparation for racing; only to see our great product impacted by Mother Nature. 

While losing another race meet is sobering and the impact is considerable, the club remains in a strong position and we are confident of delivering four fantastic race days in 2023. 

Please join us on Sunday 15th January and help finally kick off our 2022/23 season. 

Regards, Brendan Fraser (President)
