Isisford Amateur Turf Club plans races on November 6 with course improvements underway. President Mr Bates reports strong owner support and hopes for a successful meeting. It will be the club’s first since a two year drought pause.
A debutante ball featured about 50 children with the Governor and Lady represented by Lance Currie and Nolene Hislop. Attendees wore gowns of broderie Anglaise, tulle, and organza, while themes of ceremony and trainings by the CWA highlighted the event. The evening included speeches by Lance and Dennis Nelson, rides of honor, a refreshment supper, and dancing as stormy weather limited attendance. A bushfire nearby prompted concern but rain eventually halted the fire after about 4000 acres burned.
