2021 Spring Racing Event
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Cup Eve for what was a very entertaining and informative 2021 Spring Racing event. We are delighted to announce this event has already raised almost $170,000, taking us to over $700,000 for the year so far.
In what has been a very tough year for the team at Ruben, it is wonderful to hit our [unofficial] target of contributing $700,000* towards their operating budget – if you haven't already taken up a Membership or donated, please help out if you can!
* NB one of our Members covers our admin. costs so that every $ donated goes to Ruben
