On January 4 2021, I addressed Kurranulla Probus Club at Cronulla Golf Club. The meeting was well attended, and I was happy to answer questions.
On March 16 2021, I had the opportunity to speak to Kogarah Probus Club at the St George Motor Boat Club , Sans Souci .It was the Club’s first meeting back, so I was happy to assist as their guest speaker . At the conclusion of the meeting, I was able to meet the daughter of a former Moorefield jockey, Jack Parsons.
John Tapp, former race broadcaster, emailed me on March 4 2021, to tell me how to find an interview with the late Edgar Britt. Go to “johntapp.racing “. When you reach the main menu there are 3 parallel lines in the top right hand corner. You will find 7 headings there. Click on “SKY RACING FLASHBACKS” There are several interviews with well- known people including Cliff Clare. The Edgar Britt special is in 2 parts and covers his fascinating life. Edgar recalls racing in India in the 1930’s in the interview. It is set to the sound the “Song of India”. Edgar apparently called the Maharajah of Baroda “Baroda”. Fascinating racing history…….
