After winning the title of Picnic Racing Club of the Year, Balnarring is gearing up for a bumper season. Thanks to good rainfall during winter and spring, the course and picnic areas are in top condition, with the course rated a 'true' racing surface.

There have been improvements to on-course bars and extra picnic tables have been placed in the members' and public areas.

A new children's playground will be ready for the Christmas meeting on December 5.

Bookmakers and the TAB are on-course at all meetings and a variety of food and beverage outlets makes the picturesque course on Coolart Road in Bittern a popular family outing.

Gates open at 10am and the first race is at 1pm.
