MVRC Members joined us for the official Junior Jock Christmas Party.&nbsp;Santa joined us at The Valley for our celebrations in December as our Junior Jock members join us at The Valley for the official Christmas Party.&nbsp;It was an incredible afternoon of family-friendly fun. Junior Jock members had a chance to meet Santa and his elves and take a photo, and they received a special Christmas gift. There was plenty of entertainment, including face painting and a visit from our Junior Jock mascot, Crossword.

The Charity Pins were available for purchase on course and online, while other fundraising initiatives also took place during the Spring Carnival. In December, the MVRC was thrilled to be able to present a cheque for $113,600 to Make-A-Wish Australia. It took the donation total to $234,250 across the two years as the Cox Plate Charity Pin partner.
