25.01.2022 The Port Hedland Turf Club recently held its AGM, and we are pleased to announce our 2020 race season executive committee members. President: Tony Barron Vice President: Jayne Kelman Secretary: Trish Barron... Treasurer: Amy Mann Since our club is made up of local volunteers, wed like to thank our executive committee and committee members for their ongoing support and commitment. Without these hard working individuals our club wouldnt be able to bring Port Hedland its amazing race season. A big shout out goes to Darren White who has this year retired from the presidents position. As Darren hands over the reins to Tony, wed like to thank Darren for all his hard work over the years. From all the Port Hedland Turf Club committee, THANK YOU!

24.01.2022 Dear Hedland Punters and Patrons Since the Federal Governments ban on non-essential gatherings as a measure to manage COVID-19, racing in WA has continued with only those essential to the running of the races being granted access to the racecourse at all times. Racing and Wagering WA has advised that this measure applies to all race meetings including those held by country/regional race clubs.... As a result, the PHTC is postponing the sale of 2020 memberships until further notice and will refund those already purchased. Whilst this decision is regrettable, the PHTC supports the implementation of consistent risk mitigation as paramount to safeguarding the health and safety of the community and the participants of the racing industry during these uncertain times. The PHTC is aware of how much the community looks forward to attending race days in Hedland and particularly Ladies Day and Cup Day. And whilst we have considered holding race day events offsite, we believe we must act responsibly and show leadership in limiting the communitys potential exposure to any health risk. In the meantime, we will be working in the background to make sure that we are ready to reopen the gates to the public as soon as possible, subject to the advice of Racing and Wagering WA. Please note that the Hedland races will be broadcast by Sky Channel. The PHTC will keep you informed of any further changes as it is advised by Racing and Wagering WA.

22.01.2022 Hate waiting in queues...well next Saturday 18 May will be no exception. Two big events...Federal Election and Port Hedland Turf Club 1st race meeting of the 2019 season means potential for two long queues. We want everyone to have a relaxing day out at the races so heres a couple of "queue avoidance" tips to ensure you have a stress free day. 1. Vote early - polling booths open at 8am on 18/5 - get up early, be first in line and miss the rush. ... 2. Vote before Saturday - details at this link https://www.aec.gov.au/election/voting.htm#voting 3. PHTC gates open at 12n so arrive early and get settled in for a great day 4. BUY YOUR MEMBERSHIP ONLINE THIS WEEK - https://www.registernow.com.au/secure/Register.aspx?E=33832 There endeth the lesson.

07.01.2022 Dear Hedland Punters and Patrons RWWA has announced that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is cancelling all race meetings in the Northwest including Port Hedland for the 2020 season. This decision has been made as a further health and safety measure to protect industry participants and local communities. Whilst this is disappointing, it is not unexpected and a sensible measure, given the extraordinary times we are currently experiencing.... Our thoughts go out to our country trainers, their staff, jockeys and owners who will be particularly affected by this decision. The PHTC is pleased that RWWA will look to providing additional opportunities for them to race throughout the year in the Southwest of the State. In the meantime, the PHTC will continue to work in the background preparing for a bigger and brighter 2021 Port Hedland racing season. The PHTC Committee thanks the community for its understanding and support. Everyone please stay safe during this period of uncertainty, look out for your family, friends and neighbours and most important of all, be kind to each other.

06.01.2022 Gates open at 12pm! Come down to the races to go into the running to win one of these beauties!!! Plus a pile of other giveaways Terms & conditions apply
