Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that the "Broadmeadow" Exhibition is on this weekend,
the 23-24 August at Newcastle Jockey Club, Chatham Road, Broadmeadow.
Open: 9am-5pm (Sat) & 9am-4pm (Sun), there is a courtesy bus from
Broadmeadow Railway Station. Admission: $10/$8/$25. I'd say that the
best way of getting there is to catch the train to Broadmeadow train
station and catch the courtesy bus to the (NJC).
Members who drive from Sydney just need to drive up the F3 and take
the Newcastle Link Rd exit. It's just after the George Booth Dr or
(Cardiff Exit), go straight through the roundabouts (4) which becomes
Thomas St Wallsend past the Shell Petrol Stations and turn right at
the big roundabout at the top of the hill (Newcastle Rd). Now follow
the Newcastle signs to Broadmeadow, pass United Goninan on the left,
you'll recognize it because of the trains in their yard cross over the
railway bridge make sure you are in the right hand lane for a right
turn after the bridge.
Turn right at Samdon St and follow it past Gregson Park, the next set
of traffic lights that you get to is Belford St, you need to turn
right here. Once you have turned the corner, you will need to get in
the left or middle lane as the next set of traffic lights you come to
is Chatham St to turn left. Just as you leave the intersection with
Belford St GO STRAIGHT not veer right as this is Brunker Rd and will
take you away from the racecourse. Follow Chatham St for about 500
metres and Newcastle Jockey Club and racecourse is on the left. I
chose the Newcastle Link Rd way cos it was the easiest to explain here.
