Melbourne Cup Day

Today is Melbourne Cup Day - the day where the whole nation stops to watch an horse race that lasts for about 3 minutes or so. The build up is amazing, the ladies' outfits incredible, the hats stunning and the guys' ties are also amazing. Ascot Rotary Club had some fun today in recognition of this important event on the social calendar. Bev's hat was voted as the best by our own 'independent judges'.

Brian Poole got to do a pirouette to show off his outfit; which won him the best dressed man here today.

Check out our facebook page to see some of the other photos that were taken this morning too. A big thank you to Deepti and Michael for organising the fun this morning and to Stephen who did a great job calling our own Melbourne Cup Race.
