Melbourne Cup Day 2010

Our Cup runneth over for the big race day
Players, parents, partners, supporters and friends again enjoyed themselves at our annual Moonee Valley Cricket Club Melbourne Cup Day across at the bowls pavilion.

About 60 people joined in for a day of fun, along with an excellent roast cooked by maestro Peter Fenaughty on a wood-fired spit.

It was fun all around as Joe Ansaldo took on the job of bookmaker this year, and at the end of the day returned a small profit to the Club coffers.

At least this year our much-loved player Michael Cumbo didn't clean up the bookie - and indeed Mick made a $50 donation to the Club after he won one of the sweeps.

Thanks also to Dan Terzini for running the sweeps, Peter Smith for his time behind the bar and the members and supporters who provided salads. An excellent day was had by all.

Shown above keeping a close eye on the figures and on the books are Club treasurer Chris Micallef,
life member Darren Nagle and life member and bookie for the day Joe Ansaldo.
