    I've never really looked to get anything over & above in return for membership dues...other than maybe a car parking spot that doesn't require of me a 4 day trek to get trackside and maybe the opportunity to buy something reasonable to eat when and if I feel the need.
    On the rare occasion I do make it to trackside of a Friday or Saturday night I really don't want to sit around at a table eating and talking to people anyway. That's not the reason I went there in the first place. I've knocked back a number of very kind invites to trackside marquees & so on because while they're without doubt very, very pleasant, that's not what going to the races is all about for me. Perhaps if I went along one night with my wife I'd think about it a little differently but I'd much rather be out the front on the grass watching the racing...even if that means dinner is a steak sandwich and a beer on the run. The only trackside marquee that I LOVE to get a bait to is the one at Bathurst on Gold Crown Final Night and even then, that is me polarising around self interest because at around that time of the year in Bathurst, once the sun goes down...it can get very bloody cold and in that marquee they often have a series of rather welcome gass heaters. On that score, Danny, Marianne, if you guys are reading this, could you please save me a seat.

    Bunbury trotting club, even though owners passes get you into all tracks, gives you and a guest access to the members bar/lounge. Ideal in winter when it's wet and cold and good spot to get together with a group of friends and have dinner etc.

    Only have membership of our home club, Blayney. Though I am thinking of extending that to include Bathurst as it makes sense whilst we have horses trialling and racing. Must admit though, if we didn't have horses, we would probably only go to two meetings a year, the Blayney ones!
    Warning: Horses are expensive, addictive, and may impair the ability to use common sense.
