Local picnic horse meeting @ Mt Perry has 5 races with a total prizemoney pool of $39,000.
A country dog meeting is less than the cost of country horse 1 race to run.
We Run As One!

It certainly wasn't lack of funds as stated. That's boloney.

There's obviously another reason.

Why else would they want a club to struggle after nearly 30 years of survival....with the last 15 of those years being fed on crumbs which might I say has/had been a struggle too.

It's clear to me. The oxygen is slowly being squeezed out of Bundaberg's airwaves.

The club can't possibly survive on this latest proposal of withdrawing MORE race meetings.

Without race meeting you have less turn-over.

Without turn-out, you can't pay bills.

If you can't pay bills, you close the doors.

Imagine running a shop which opened 7 days a week and after 27 years of business, the landlord sent you a letter stating that you could only open for 4 days a week.......You'd close the doors because the turn-over wouldn't make ends meet.

It's the same in this case & it's absolutely discussing to be a witness of the "Beginning of the END" for Bundaberg.

The AGM for the club is this weekend so I'm sure the Club President Brian Terry will throw ALL the cards on the table.....which won't contain any aces.

Brian....Anyone related with Bundaberg Greyhound Racing can't knock what you've done for the club as President.

You've pulled strings here & there.

Talked to those in charge, Council, Local Members, Minsters.

You've tried it all.....but it's all fallen on deaf ears.

Yes....I agree with John.

Put your cue back in the rack......and then put in a vote of no confidence.

BUNDABERG.....IT'S NOW OR NEVER.

Mark, Our Racing Minister sent me an email stating
"major work on Cronulla Park would start BEFORE the end of
this year.........completion July 2015"

Sean, that means two businesses will be asked to take a 33% and 25% cut to revenues respectively through loss of dates, they also will have their trial revenues severely dented when Logan ramps up, their rents etc will not change. A Country club in Qld has had its dates cut and the loss of revenues has seen it slip from Black financially into the red, RQ have taken the let them eat cake approach to the problem even though the losses sit squarely at their hands . I doubt either of the Brisbane Clubs can take that hit to revenues and prosper into the future unless they are compensated.

Luckily both of the Clubs are well represented so have some hope of negotiating a favourable outcome

And I hope they have planned for a decent 2 turn inside the one turn otherwise participants will have been stitched up again

AGM tomorrow Dan so will know more then
