FIRSTLY - On Saturday 11/10/08 a day at the Gold Coast Races!
 
*The Gold Coast Turf Club is Australia's busiest racecourse with racing every Saturday, and mid-week racing throughout the year.
Conveniently situated just 2kms from Surfers Paradise with unforgettable dining and unrivalled skyline views.
But not just any day - we are going to take over their top private room, the air conditioned Paradise room located on the 1st floor overlooking the saddling enclosure
with views of the finishing post and access to all the full members facilities including bookmakers.
The room only handles 12 tables of 10 so 120 of us will enjoy
* Air conditioned comfort
*Viewing Balcony
*Private Bar Facilities
*Private Tote Facilities
*Television
*The Gold Coast Turf Club's top lunch menu
Platters of whole King Prawns
Tasmanian Smoked Salmon with onion rings & capers
Platters of fresh Tasmanian Rock Oysters
Whole Baked Viginian Ham, smeared with mustard, studded with cloves & basted with sugar & sherry
Roast mustard tenderloins; whole eye fillets seared on a char grill & baked medium rare
Selection of seasonal vegetables served with lemon butter sauce & roasted almonds
Roasted chat potatoes with fresh rosemary
Greek Salad
Mediterranean Pasta Salad
Spinach & Mushroom Salad
Assorted Breads

Afternoon Tea
Chefs freshly baked scones & pikelets served with jam & cream
Tea, Coffee & Mints
 *There will be two bottles of champagne at your table when you sit down to help ease you into the day!
Whilst you have access to all the members facilities you literally do not have to leave the private room apart from toilet visits, and if you are a smoker to enjoy a cigarette in the designated areas - the closest to us is at the Northern End:
Behind Surf & Turf, follow the signs to the Pat Murray Equine Racing Complex (stables).
Or Left side as you enter the main entrance turnstiles
You do not have to be a bettor or even remotely interested in racing to enjoy this day, just the venue, good friends, good food, a drink or two, and the excitement of watching the races and others winning or losing their money make for an unforgettable day!
*But if you are interested in racing there is another bonus - Saturday 11/10/08 happens to be Caulfield Guineas Day, along with Derby Day and Melbourne Cup Day one of the major meetings during the Victorian Spring Carnival when Australia's best 3 year olds are racing in one of the 3 Group 1 (the highest grade racing there is) races on that day.
When you arrive you will be given $20 in cash to try your luck either in Melbourne or on the local racing, and the days race - book (so dont buy one at the entrance) which will have a printed insert of Race Profit's tips for the day.
Unlike other races courses in Australia and NZ the Gold Coast dress regulations for members are very relaxed, no ties or coats needed for men who can even wear stylish casuals without socks.
