CLICK HERE TO GO BACK YEAR: 1967ANZAC DAY GALA
The success of the Anzac Day Gala at Addington on Tuesday was outstanding and exceeded all early expectations.
A crowd of more than 12,000 people including 8100 paying adults converged on the Raceway which proved in no uncertain terms that people were kindly disposed towards the innovation.
The equalisator turnover was £10,000, and from the sale of racebooks, and an expected donation from the Christchurch Trotting Club, the gross profit from the day will be more than £2000. Of this 80% will go to the Returned Services' Association Sandilands Home for War Veterans and the remainder to other charities.
The gala day was conducted by the Canterbury Owners and Breeders Association in conjunction with the Loins Club of Christchurch and the Returned Services' Association, under the jurisdiction of the Christchurch Trotting Club.
