Leukaemia Foundation – World’s Greatest Shave
Tonight’s the night! The Leukaemia Foundation’s –
World’s Greatest Shave to Care and Cure will be held from 4-6 May. The Club is
hosting its own shave event on Thursday 4 May. Commonwealth Games stars Robert
and Chantelle Newbury will be the guest haircutters for the night. Thanks to
Marie Heck for all her work in getting the ball rolling for this great cause.
Paul Dolan has offered his hair and beard!! So far Paul has received pledges
around $1500 for his beard. What a
fantastic effort that has been from our racecaller and the industry.
The haircutting starts after Race 5.
From the Committee
The Brisbane Club Committee met on Tuesday 2
May. Some of the outcomes of the
meeting were:
·
From 1 January 2007 the Committee will change the
nomination conditions for Group Races held at Albion Park to:
-
Best greyhounds nominated
-
Maidens ineligible
·
Support for the redevelopment of the BGRC web
site. The Club is aiming to go live
with the new site on 8 June 2006 – the final of the VIP Pet Foods Gold Cup.
AGRA Rankings
Attached to today’s newsletter are the AGRA
Greyhound Racing Rankings for April.
These rankings are compiled from the Group Races held nationally each
year. We will aim to include these each month as they make interesting reading.
Winter Carnival – Group 1 Nights
The VIP Petfoods Gold Cup Final will be held on 8 June
and the Garrards Horse and Hound Winter Carnival Cup Final on 20 July. We are planning two spectacular nights both
on and off the track.
Silks will be open on both nights providing an excellent smorgasbord
dinner and a great view of the nights’ racing. We need the support of the
greyhound industry to ensure that we can maintain the viability of opening
Silks on these occasions. The cost will be $32.50 per person. Bookings are
essential – please phone 3262 2044 ASAP to reserve your table. The menu for the night is attached to
today’s Albion Angle.
There will be plenty of entertainment on both nights, with the Gold Cup
being themed around “A Magic Night“.
While we’re certain of seeing plenty of magic on the track, the off
track entertainment will include roving magicians, The Phoenix Fire Tribe, kids
entertainers, a jumping castle, the Afghan Hounds racing, raffles and more.
The Winter Carnival Cup night will have a “Carnivale” atmosphere with
circus performers, jumping castle, music from the Caribbean Kings and more to be announced.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BOOK WELL IN ADVANCE
The Club has commenced the incentive programs from Monday 1 May 2006.
Monday: The Moonlight Farms Bonus Dog. One dog will be drawn each
Monday night as the bonus dog.
If that dog wins the connections will win a free service to
one of Moonlight Farms sires.
Thursday: The Moonlight Farms Pick 6.
This is a racebook competition where patrons will be able to nominate
the winners of races 3 to 8. Anyone successfully picking all 6 winners will
receive the Jackpot Prize. The prize
will start at $100 and jackpot by $20 each week that it is not won.
Friday: Garrard’s Horse and Hound Jackpot Dog
Cost will be $5 per dog –
optional entry. Entry is to be paid at
the Club Office. One dog will be drawn
as the Jackpot dog. If that dog wins its event, the trainer will be awarded the
Jackpot. If the prize is not won, the Jackpot increases for the next week. Garrard’s Horse and Hound have joined in to
sponsor this incentive, with a $25 voucher for the trainer of the greyhound
drawn as the Jackpot Dog. The Club wishes to thank Garrards for their on-going
support for greyhound racing.
Wednesday 10 May
Albion Park will be holding
the Ipswich Wednesday night meeting on 10 May due to the Ipswich Show.
Please note that date down when planning your nominations – it is a Class 3
meeting. Nominations close with
the GRA at 8.30am Friday 5 May.
We will be trialling that
morning as normal, however the kennels will not be available for use.

Offers close on Friday 9 May at 5.00pm. All Offers will be opened at this time, with
the highest offer receiving the rope. It will be the purchasers responsibility

Children At Trials
We have had instances in
recent weeks where children have been playing unsupervised near the track on
trial nights. This is a very dangerous practice and has the potential to
distract staff and greyhounds during the conduct of trials. It is the
responsibility of parents/guardians to supervise children while at the trials.
Please ensure that they do not play or run near the track.
Trials
Wednesday
8.45am to 11am. Please book with the club on Tuesdays between 9am and
12pm.
Please note the change in trial booking times for Friday night trials.
We are hoping to make it a little easier for you to book trials for Friday.
Friday from 7.20pm. Please book with the club Wednesdays between 11am
and 2pm or Thursday between 1pm and 3pm.
Mon 9am – 10.30pm

Race Programming and Albion Park trebles, doubles and extra doubles.
These initiatives were put

so that we can provide feedback to the GRA. There is a tear-off slip provided
at the bottom of the next page. If you need more room please feel free to use a
larger piece of paper. We will also
accept feedback via email. These can be
returned to the Club Office prior to Monday May 8.
