Message from the CEO
At last years AGM the rule pertaining to Member for Life eligibility was changed so that any member with 40 or more years continuous membership became eligible. Previously the length of continuous membership was fifty years.
We are pleased to announce that 12 members are now set
to join Bert Wicks and Athol Cook as Members for Life of the Tasmanian Racing
Club; Ronald Banks AM, Rodney Berry, Phillip Burbury, Peter Dolan, Ken Drake,
Henry Edgell, Stuart Elliss, Tem Fish, Michael Johns, Clarrie Johnson, Irvin Kean and Cam Sorell.
The club was saddened by the recent passing of Life
Member John Mitchell. John was chairman
of the club from 1982 to 1984 during a period described by Bert Wicks in “Men
of Influence” as “the most difficult political period of the club’s
history.” Our sympathies go out to
John’s family and friends.
Finally, members are reminded that bookings for Derby
and Cup days are being taken from the 1st of August 2008. Book early to make sure you don’t miss out!
Good Racing
