Tregenza Times Old Collegians Rugby Union Football Club Inc 25th November 2016 Melbourne Cup Luncheon HUGE THANKS to Barry and Ann Hickman for organising our inaugural Melbourne Cup Function. A fantastic day was had by all. Fine wining and dining, sweeps to win (congratulations to the winners!!), hat parade, singing and dancing. A thankyou to the bevy of helpers who assisted with set up/pack down, food and many other tasks. We all know who we are without your assistance and enthusiasm, this day would not have been possible. For those of you who missed out on the sell out day get your tickets early next year!! Our thanks, as always, to Alex Walwyn for his great photographs.
