If you are looking to enjoy an elegant high-end event for Melbourne Cup Day, while making a difference, then the Zonta Club of Maryborough’s Melbourne Cup Daytime Soiree is for you.  There will be amazing raffles and of course, sweeps.  Ticket includes glass of bubbly, wine, beer or soft drink on arrival and an entry in the sweeps.

All money raised will be going toward implementing the #Ask For Angela initiative in licensed venues across Maryborough. If a patron feels unsafe, they can ask the staff for ‘Angela’. This simple code word alerts venue staff that the person requires assistance. The staff can then follow procedures to help the person appropriately and respectfully.  The Zonta Club of Maryborough will produce all the paperwork needed and training necessary.

Delicious hot and cold canapes by Bay Fusion will be served over two hours.  Bay Fusion Food Design is the elite Queensland caterer delivering exceptional food and services since 2010. Premium ingredients, professional service and exquisite presentation combine to create a catering experience that is a cut above the rest.  Please advise of any dietary requirements when purchasing your tickets.

Enjoy the harmonic tones of Emma Newman who has been singing for as long as she can remember.  She laid her hands on her first “proper guitar” at 11 and performed covers at little primary school events. Her passion for writing and performing deepened at the age of 13 and she began gigging professionally a few years later.  The self-taught artist expresses whatever she’s feeling through her music, with a unique style landing somewhere in between acoustic pop and folk.

A fashion show by local fashion boutique, House of Holabox will entertain guests with gorgeous and unique clothing until the big race.

A beautifully decorated photo area with props will be available to catch those lovely moments with your friends or to have some silly fun.

There will be two large screens, ensuring that you get a top view of the race.

This is a cocktail event, however there will be tables of 8-10 seats and 4 seats.  There will be enough seating for all attendees.  Get in early if you have a group who want to sit together.
