The Boat Club and the Melbourne Cup Tuesday 6th November
Today was a great day we went in the Club at 10 am (the race was at 2pm !) After buying a $5 book of vouchers that got us reduced beer and food prices and a selection of raffle tickets PLUS a $3 mystery bet and a free scratch n match sweep ticket the day began !! We sat in the main lounge and a jazz band was playing to keep us entertained ( I,m not a fan of jazz BUT these elderly players were really good)playing Temperance Seven and sing along stuff .Upstairs in another concert hall a duet were playing old rock n roll music.The place was ALIVE and thru out the day we were kept busy with raffles/music/keno/pokies etc.For lunch I had a cheese board and it was just the ticket !! Annie had Prawn mango Salad.People around us were very friendly and chatty.At 4pm ish we were ready to go.Revellers were probably going to stay till club closing (the club has a free pick up and drop off bus service) Ive reached the age where I can no longer (like in my younger days !) spend all day boozing !!
