About
Uniquely nestled on the banks of the picturesque Avoca River sits the Charlton Harness Racing Club. Founded in 1910 ( then Trotting Club) races were held at the Old Racecourse in conjunction with pony gallops races. Due to the depression the club ceased operation in 1935. It was not until 1948 the reformation of the club under the leadership of Victor Sait (President) and Ken Saliathiel (Secretary) and an enthusiastic committee of locals. The Charlton Harness Racing Club is indeed fortunate to have had so many committed and passionate community members prepared to work in any capacity for the benefit of the club and ultimately the town. It is the many unsung roles that make a club from the gatekeeper – special mention to Terry Brynes, to the numbers man – currently Stan Gregtrix to the local track attendants who have performed their duties raceday without fanfare. Charlton has been blessed with achievers on the bigger stage, a history we hope to add to in the future.Similar Verified Businesses
