A reminder that you must have paid your membership fees that are now due, and be in attendance for the Southern Cross University Raceday this Saturday to be in the running to win the $800 cash jackpot.

If not won on Saturday it will jackpot to $850 for Woodlawn Cup Day the following Saturday 6th August.

The Lismore Late Nighter will support this years Uni Cup Race Day by providing FREE services to and from the Turf Club to ensure people have a safe day out. Buses will depart from the SCU Gym & Pool and Orion College (Ross Street) from 11.45am. After the races services will start from 5.00pm.

Remember if you are making a night of it and plan to go into the CBD after the races, the Lismore Late Nighter will be running from midnight and drops off at the SCU. Plan ahead and be safe, catch the Lismore Late Nighter.

The Board of the LTC has approved a new initiative whereby approx. 40 members selected at random will be invited to The Corporate Box (above the members lounge) to partake in a finger food luncheon and a free drink with the Chairman at selected race meetings.

This will give the club the opportunity to personally thank members for their support and will give members the chance to discuss issues of importance with the Chairman.

We hope you will be able to attend when you are invited because invitations will not be transferable.

We have had a number of enquiries about the Truck Show for 2011. We wish to advise members that a decision was made a couple of months ago to postpone the event that would normally be held in July / August due to the continued wet weather that has made a majority of the normal truck parking area not suitable for heavy vehicles. This then allowed the club to offer the raceday to the Woodlawn College as a replacement for their raceday that was lost in May.

The club is yet to make a decision about whether the truck show will be run later in the year or held over until the normal time in 2012.

The Lismore Turf Club is on Facebook and currently has 247 fans which we hope to continue growing.

If you're not already a fan, why not take a look at the new initiatives including Gary Kliese's Late Mail being posted live on race days?
