RACE DAY THANKS

As Madonna has mentioned previously, I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all of the people involved with the School and Parish Race Day.  In particular, the committee who put a lot of hard work and time into preparations for the day.

Special thanks to Annie Ward and Bee King in particular.  These two ladies did majority of the hard work including promotion, liasing with the turf club and setting up.  They were very well supported by the other members of the committee including Madonna Sleba, Fr Michael O'Brien, Fr Hal Ranger and myself.  

Thanks also to all of the sponsors of races and raffle/auction prizes.  Your support is very much appreciated.
