Chinchilla Races

IF YOU thought Fusions on the Field on Friday night was a big enough event for a Chinchilla weekend then you thought wrong.

On Saturday the sun, fun and good times will be carrying on with Chinchilla Race Club's annual November Races.

Gates open at 11am, first race is at 1.30pm and after the horses are tucked up in bed for the night following the final race at 4pm, the after-party will kick off with DJ Diaz until midnight.

Entry is $15 per person and group bookings (up to 10) are available in the marquee.

A courtesy bus will be running throughout the day and night between the Club Hotel, Commercial Hotel and the Racecourse.
