Charlton Harness Racing Club was lauded and the Pacing For Pink event celebrated when Trots Clubs Victoria held its awards during a two-day seminar.
The 2020-2021 Country Club Awards toasted high performing clubs and individuals as Trots Clubs Victoria reflected on plenty of highlights throughout a somewhat interrupted 2021 season.
Trots Clubs Victoria chief executive Carl Coady said the seminar at Moama’s Rich River Golf Club was a great few days and brought clubs together.
“We had a number of guest speakers from both HRV and external sources over the two days, including Sean Carroll, the Racing Integrity Commissioner,” Coady said.
“We had a fantastic turn out and it really shows the strength of the Victorian country clubs.”
