25.01.2022 ** LIFE MEMBERSHIP - WES IRWIN ** A big congratulations to Wes Irwin for receiving life membership at tonight's AGM. A well deserved award for his years of service to the Ilfracombe Picnic Race Club. Wes works very hard behind the scenes to ensure we can continue to host this event for the community. As you can guess, there is so much red tape and increased pressure to ensure accreditations are met, grants are aquitted and auditors are kept happy. ... A big THANKYOU Wes from all the committee, members and patrons for everything you do. It does not go unnoticed.

These can be purchased from the Secretary's box for $10. No ticket no ride. * Fashions of the fields judging will start at 1 2:30pm. Judges will be selecting people from the crowd during the day. * Gates open at 12pm with FREE entry. See you all soon.

01.01.2022 ** WILLOWIE CUP CANCELLATION ** It is with great reluctance that we announce the cancellation of the July 2020 Willowie Cup Race Day. We understand that this was a greatly anticipated event and we have held off making this decision if it was at all possible for this day to go ahead. Unfortunately, we have been advised by Racing QLD that we are unable to proceed with this race day.... We'd like to thank all our Jockies, Trainers, Volunteers, Race day staff, Valued Sponsors, Members and Patrons for their patience and support while this decision was being made. We are looking forward to an exciting day of racing in 2021. Stay safe.
