2015 Christmas cheer at the Valley

CHRISTMAS CHEER AT THE VALLEY

Moonee Valley players, family and members gathered at the Ormond Park clubhouse on December 20 to celebrate the last day of play before the Christmas break.
And what a strange final weekend it was!
After having our juniors cancelled for extreme heat on the Friday night, and the same result for our seniors on the Saturday - we battled wet weather on the Sunday of our Christmas party - to see the Thirds finally forced off the ground for a draw!
Right up until we were forced off, we looked the goods.
But no matter - we all gathered for a few drinks and to celebrate the half-way mark of the season.
The highlight of the early evening was the big raffle draw - with the $500 cash first prize won by former junior Leo Gardiner.
Thanks the the main organisers of the day - led by the ever-reliable Danny Terzini, who organised the food, the raffle and the publicity. Thanks also to Matt Thomas and Vanessa Riggio for their part in buying food, setting up the meal and making salads, and to the guys behind the bar all day.
