Mal Taylor announced the winners of the Melbourne Cup sweeps who quite properly released some of their winnings as Happy Dollars. 
 
 
They were Chris Dawson, Jan Pearson and Ray Philp in the $5 sweep and Cecil Aaron, Mal Taylor and Peter McEwen in the $2 sweep.
 
Ray Philp also won the heads ‘n tails thanks to Chris Whelan’s tossing, so had another reason to be happy!
John Henderson celebrated 35 years in Rotary this week.
 
Ron Bower was happy to be back home, John Richards became a grandfather again, Steve Perry has reconciled with his brother after many years and his pregnant daughter is coming back from Amsterdam to deliver her baby in February. 
 
Kenn Williams won the TAB Trifecta on the Melbourne Cup.
 
Little wonder we banked $48.40 from Happy Dollars this week!
