Well, hasn’t the world changed since the Furphy Bunbury Cup in early March? The Bunbury Turf Club had delivered another successful race season and we were heading into an extended break to complete a $17M Track Redevelopment which would see us return as a year- round racing venue with first-rate training facilities to meet the needs of our local participants. The Bunbury Track Redevelopment is now on pause and we will not know its future until we see the other side of this pandemic. The likely scenario is a 12-month delay. Therefore, the Bunbury Turf Club is racing in season 2020/21. We are excited to deliver another 20 race meetings next season commencing on Melbourne Cup Day, Tuesday 3 November running through to the start of April 2021. The Bunbury Turf Club has been granted a standalone Saturday for its two premium races next season. All roads will lead to Bunbury on Saturday 6 March 2021, when racing takes centre stage in the South West. In a historical first, the $120,000 Furphy Bunbury Cup and $120,000 Amelia Park Bunbury Stakes will be combined to lead a stellar Super Saturday race card to be run at metropolitan prize money levels. We look forward to welcoming you all back oncourse on Melbourne Cup Day, stay safe in the meantime. 3 2020/21 MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES FULL MEMBERSHIP $99 ANNUAL GUEST CARD Complimentary with full membership CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP $990 4 Benefit (Membership Type) Full Guest Corporate General Admission P P P Members Reserve Access P P P Members Reserve Car Park P P (excludes Bunbury Cup Day) Reciprocal Privileges with other P P P Western Australian racing clubs Full voting privileges P Transferability of Pass P P Subscription to Members’ pre-race P P day email Discount on non-race day P P functions Invitation to exclusive Members’ P P events Complimentary P P race book 10% discount on meals from P P P Legends Cafe Discount beverages in Member P P P Reserve Areas 5 MEMBER BENEFITS & PRIVILEGES ACCESS ALL RACE COMPLIMENTARY RESERVED MEETINGS RACEBOOK CAR PARKING « Admission to all race meetings at the Bunbury Turf Club including Furphy Bunbury Cup Day « Complimentary race book at all meetings « 10% discount at Legends Cafe for sit- down meals « Access to Members Reserve for all standard and feature race meetings « R eciprocal Privileges with other Western Australian racing clubs including Perth Racing « Member s’ reserved car parking « Event invitations and special offers exclusive to Members « Full voting privileges (where applicable) « Members’ exclusive E-newsletter 6 MEMBER FOR THE DAY WRISTBANDS Members are welcome to purchase up to 4 “Member for the Day” wristbands at any meeting (excluding Bunbury Cup Day).
