Yalgoo Race Day Saturday 5 April

What a great day everyone had at the annual races.

Six races, plenty of horses, plenty of winners, great entertainment from DJ Rev and Faye, the bouncy

castle, a Local Drug Action Group ‘mocktail’ stall, a fantastic home-made cake stall by locals and bril-

liant catering from George Hodder and his family.

We had 345 paying customers come through the gate and that does not include the under 18’s who

were all free and then there were all the volunteers, workers, trainers, strappers,

jockeys, stewards etcetera…so we had probably about 450 people all up. A great turn up. The rain

threatened but never caused any problems although the wind steadily increased through the day and

right at the start of Race 5 – The Yalgoo Cup, we had an incredible wind blow up to cause a real spec-

tacle as the horses competed for the Cup around the entire track.

The Yalgoo District Jockey Club would like to thank all of our very generous sponsors for

making the races possible. The Shire of Yalgoo, MMG, Mount Gibson Iron, Local Drug Action Groups

Inc., Mullewa Engineering Services, Proudloves Smash Repairs, Jason Signmakers, Coates Hire, West-

Spot, Battery Mart, Geraldton Hire and Scaffolding, Scarlet Monkey Jewellery, Geraldton Skin Technol-

ogy, Face Facts Skin Care Centre, Gearing Butchers, Mick Davey Butchers, BBQ’s Galore, Getaway Out-

doors and Mid West Pest Management.

I also would like to thanks the many members of the committee and the community who

contributed the running of the race day. As usual we were understaffed but managed to pull off a

very successful day for all involved.

We look forward to another great day at the races in 2015.

Yalgoo Races 2014


ANZAC Day – 25 April

It was a very special ANZAC day in Yalgoo this year as the Shire’s first Commemorative War Me-

morial was unveiled. Services were held at dawn and at 10.00 am. Visitors, relatives of men on the

Commemorative Wall, attended from as far afield as Perth and Geraldton.

For the first time in Yalgoo’s history, the National, State and Aboriginal flags were raised in front of

the names of 216 young men and women of Yalgoo who have served in Australia’s Defence Forces

over the past 115 years. Of the 216 people listed on the wall, 19 young men lost their lives while

serving their country.

The long over-due Commemorative Wall has finally come to exist four years after Council, (when

recent past President Terry Iturbide was at the helm), resolved to build it in 2010. The idea of the

Commemorative Wall was originally suggested by past President, Don Anderson.

It was apt that WA based military historian Sandra Playle was commissioned to undertake the re-

search as she was raised in Yalgoo through the 1950s. We were honoured that Sandra accepted the

invitation to fly to Yalgoo to be the guest of honour at our ANZAC services and it was also fitting

that both Don and Terry could also participate in the services.

Sandra took the opportunity to present to Shire President, Cl Neil Grinham a reproduction of a re-

nowned portrait of Corporal Jim Gordon V.C. who is acknowledged on our Commemorative Wall.

Jim Gordon grew up near Gin Gin but was a resident of Yalgoo at the time of his enlistment into the

Australian Army and it was felt fitting that he, as a recipient of the Victoria Cross in 1941, should fi-

nally be honoured in Yalgoo.
