Out and about for the cup

Getting in the spirit of Melbourne Cup day at Cudgen Leagues Club are Lesley and George Dowling. Dapper George was named Cudgen's best dressed man.

ALL the colour and excitement of Melbourne Cup came to the Tweed this week.
And while a lot of us headed out to Murwillumbah to the races – all the venues along the Coast were kept busy with revellers enjoying seafood buffets, fine food, good music, champagne and air-conditioning.
And while there were a few hats around the place – it was definitely the year of colour and of fascinators and feathers. Colour was the order of the day – it seems electric blue is the new black or maybe the new red – anyway there was a lot of it.
