The 2017 Bega Cup Carnival will be held at the Sapphire Coast Racecourse on Saturday and Sunday, February 4 and 5, with $415,000 in stakes on offer over the two days.
The Sunday meeting will feature the $50,000 Bega Cup and is a Racing NSW Showcase meeting, where each race is worth at least $30,000.
In conjunction with the race meetings, the Sapphire Coast Turf Club and Club Sapphire, Merimbula are hosting a “Gallopers for Carers” Charity Dinner at Club Sapphire on the evening of Saturday, February 4.
The function will commence at 7:00pm (for 7:30pm sit down) and will conclude around 10:30pm.
The major beneficiary of the evening will be Community Carers Association South East (CCASE) to assist with the construction of carers’ accommodation at the South East Regional Hospital in Bega.
The first stage, which provides six double rooms with ensuite bathrooms, has commenced and further stages to increase capacity and facilities will start after stage one is completed.
Corporations/businesses may sponsor a table of 10 at a cost of $1,000, which will be donated in full to CCASE and is tax-deductible. Sponsors may invite up to 10 guests to the function at a cost of $80 per head.
Members of the public may purchase tickets for $130 per head from Gallopers for Carers at gallopcare@bigpond.com and any profit from the sale of tickets and the auctions held on the night will be allocated between CCASE (for the carers’ accommodation project) and the Sapphire Coast Turf Club (to assist in the building of their new dining facilities).
The evening will provide a quality three-course meal with wine and beer/soft drinks and lots of good entertainment. There will be lucky door prizes, silent auctions, competitions (including the opportunity of winning a share in a racehorse) and a Calcutta on the Bega Cup.
