Alphabet Racing starts again at Caufield in two weeks time, on 17th September. The good horses are back preparing for the spring carnival, with the Group One Rupert Clarke Stakes and two Group 3 races as well.

For week one there will be nine races. As per the list below, your horses will be every runner whose name starts with the letter next to your name. You might have no horses in some races, and 2 or 3 in another race. You will be allocated 3, 2 or 1 points if your horse finishes in the placings.

For week two on 24 September, your horses will every horse starting with the next letter. So if you had horse S in week one, you will have T in week two, U in week 3 etc. You will have every letter over the 26 weeks of the competition.

Covid Protocols from the Coronavirus Website

Influenza & Covid are both contagious respiratory illnesses. They both have similar symptoms, and you cannot tell the difference between the two by looking at the symptoms alone.

For the safety of all Rotary members, if you or a family member are sick or unwell, or have been in contact with somebody who has Covid, please follow extreme caution, and stay away from Rotary until your illness passes, or you have met Covid isolation protocols.

Covid is incredibly contagious, so lets err on the side of caution.

 

Guest Speakers

Everyone knows someone with an interesting story to tell. Please pass their details on to Brian Ahmed so we can follow them up to speak to us in person or on Zoom at a later date.
