Stanley Rivers Update

G'day and glad you could join us for another action packed season………..We hope you can join us for our carnival on the 23rd and 24th of July. We promise to deliver a fun and very reasonably priced weekend of polocrosse with super cheap meals, budget priced drinks, the best steaks and the friendliest country atmosphere. So leave your eskies behind and join us for drinks and dinner on Friday night - we are putting a free sausage sizzle with budget priced drinks and on Saturday night we will have on offer great company, great food and a full bar at your disposal.

We have made a number of improvements during the "off-season" which include:

  • POWER
  • FIELDS
  • SHOWERS
  • YARDS (Pending grant application success)
  • 10 YEAR MASTERPLAN

POWER - an upgrade of the existing power supply and lighting is currently in process. An additional 5-6 new power poles are already in place across the centre of the race track. Our best intention is to have this work is completed by Energex and the Kilcoy Shire Council prior to our July carnival.
AERATING THE FIELDS - Another much needed improvement has been the aeration of the fields and we have Col Holcroft to thank for this. This work was completed prior to the Zone Benefit Carnival and since then over an inch of rain has fallen with the fields responding well.
SHOWERS - Tiling work has been competed in the men's and ladies showers in the centre of the racecourse. The hot water system has been upgraded at the Jockey's amenities rooms and we now have a total of 14 showers across the grounds.
YARDS - Funding has been sought through Sport and Recreation for 60 new purpose built steel yards, 12 covered stables, 2 additional horse wash down bays and modifications to existing yards to comply with the PAA directive and the performance indicator set down for all polocrosse clubs under their risk management policy. Our total horse stabling facilities will be boosted to 140 open purpose built steel yards, 12 covered stables and 3 designated horse wash down bays. If successful our Club will endeavor to have this work well underway prior to our July carnival.
MASTERPLAN - The Stanley Rivers Club has been actively working with local stakeholders in the development of a 10 year Masterplan for the Kilcoy Race Course. Feedback from polocrosse players has been invaluable to this process and to our grant applications. We will again be seeking your feedback by way of a survey at our carnival. Please complete the survey form (which will be given to you at the gate) and return it to the box at the secretaries office. All surveys will be treated as anonymous.

See you for a top weekend of polocrosse on July 23 and 24th at Kilcoy!!!
