Methven gearing up for twilight meeting

The Methven Club is gearing up for it’s third meeting of the season which takes place this Friday, 30 October with the first of 8 races kicking off at 3pm.

The theme of the day is various local rural contractors and firms who are doing the sponsoring. This is only the second time the Methven Club has attempted a twilight meeting and the club is hoping patrons and bettors will enjoy the change.

Friday’s meeting follows on from a very successful Methven Cup Day in October where a record turnover was achieved. The club and McLeod family are very grateful for the generosity of patrons, who donated over $2000 for the two youngsters who are battling spinal muscular atrophy, a great effort, god bless you all.

Stage one of the club’s housing development Equs Park is almost completely sold already, great work Dave Barley, Nigel Armstrong, Mark Lemon, Hamish Molloy, Ricky May and many others it will be very satisfying seeing the fruits of so many years of work going ahead... but for now see you Friday at Mount Harding track where the forecast is sun, sun, sun and lots of fun.
