Herbert River RSL was filled with excitement and community spirit for this year’s Melbourne Cup Day celebrations, welcoming approximately 155 people for an afternoon of racing in good company.
The event brought locals together to enjoy the race that stops the nation, with plenty of conversation, laughter and anticipation as guests watched the horses race their way around the track.
Organisers thanked everyone who attended and helped make the day such a success, with the celebrations offering another opportunity for the community to come together while supporting an important local cause.
A special mention was made of Tammy Collins and her dedicated team of volunteers, whose hard work, time and commitment helped bring the event to life.
Their efforts were greatly appreciated, with all money raised from the event going towards Ingham Palliative Care. Herbert River RSL also made an additional donation based on the number of people in attendance, providing further support to the local palliative care unit.
The generosity of attendees, volunteers and organisers helped make the day about more than just the racing, with the event highlighting the community spirit behind fundraising efforts that support local services.
Herbert River RSL thanked everyone who attended, volunteered, donated and supported the day, and looks forward to welcoming the community to future events.
The Herbert River RSL will join the community in commemorating Remembrance Day on Wednesday 11th November, with a service to be held at the Ingham Cenotaph.
Community members are invited to arrive by 10.40am, ahead of the service commencing at 10.50am. The service will run until approximately 11.30am, providing an opportunity to pause and remember the servicemen and women who have served and sacrificed in conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
Following the service, attendees are welcome to join RSL members for light refreshments at the Herbert River RSL.
