Easter Monday Bacchus Marsh sports draw a crowd but dull expected
Easter Monday events at Bacchus Marsh drew a good crowd with £42 at the gates amid dusty grounds and few standout exhibits. The day featured horse, foot and cycle events, woodchop, and prize categories while noting gaps in procession planning. Notable acts included Gerald Fitzmaurice's tenor songs, Stewart and Lorraine on banjos, Miss Mabel Mattingley and May Griffiths, with Waltona offering comic sketches before the National Anthem closed the program.
