Ashburton TC Family Farming Day – 14 July The Ashburton Trotting clubs July 14th meeting will host for the second year its Farming family Day at the races. Local racing identity Bruce Taylor and rural advocate an Ashburton TC Clerk of the Course Craig Wiggins have managed to rally a good team of supporters and rural industry sponsors to run this event. An idea Wiggins took to the Ashburton TC after noticing the stress farmers were under with Mycoplasma Bovis and other rural issues during the winter months. Wiggins said: “the Ashburton club got right behind the idea and Bruce with his local connections made it happen,” This year the the event has been ramped up with skydivers jumping in during the day, classic car displays, mini health checks for farmers, sulky races good food, racing and spot prizes for many including those unlucky on the tote and lots of children’s activities. With the Ashburton TC making the amenities available this year and some serious interest being shown on social media they expect another full house. The organisers hope to get a few drivers into the room for some one on one interviews and some punting help for those new to the track, but mostly we hope that farmers and their families just have a really good day off farm and enjoy the atmosphere.
