XXXX Gold Retreat for Lismore Cup Day
“XXXX Gold is very proud to be the sponsor of the Lismore Cup and we’ll be adding to the event experience with the introduction of the XXXX Gold Retreat and entertainment by the XXXX Angels” said Jon Bradshaw of XXXX.
The XXXX Gold Retreat is a huge B Double truck that transforms into a two-level country styled pub. It took six months to construct and tours the country stopping off at XXXX sponsored events. The lower level of the Retreat houses a 6m long public bar, a stage for performances by the XXXX Angels and a massive screen to broadcast the racing action.
The upper deck entertaining area is reserved for 60 lucky fans that have the chance to be “upgraded” every hour to Gold Class. Upstairs they will enjoy a great view of the races, a personal meeting and photo with the XXXX Angels, some merchandise and of course a complimentary XXXX Gold.
“The Lismore Turf Club is very excited by the opportunity to host the XXXX Gold Retreat” said Michael Timbrell, Secretary/Manager of the Lismore Turf Club.
“This is the first time this facility has been seen on the Northern Rivers and it is quite a spectacular site. This will add a touch of class to Lismore Cup Day that has never been seen before” he said.

LISMORE RACECOURSE UPDATE
Racing NSW Officials and NRRA Stewards have inspected track conditions at Lismore racecourse to determine the feasibility of racing in the near future.
They have reluctantly concluded that the club's scheduled race meeting for Saturday 21st May will not be able to proceed.
Although the remediation works are substantially complete, it was agreed by the officials present that the root development was not sufficiently advanced to ensure the integrity of the racing surface.
As a consequence the club and stewards are workign with Racing NSW towards the possible change of venue for the program scheduled for 21st May.
The Lismore Turf Club is not scheduled to race again until Saturday 30th July and all possible efforts are being made to ensure a resumption of racing on this date.
For all enquiries contact Michael Timbrell (Secretary/Manager) on 02 6621 3176.
