Diabetes research to benefit from meeting

The Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting at Riccarton on Saturday will also be a fundraising day for the Diabetes Research Unit.

The Zonta Club of Christchurch, which is a women’s service group, has arranged sponsorship of a number of races, and the proceeds will go towards diabetes research.

Companies which have already agreed to sponsor races are Kodak New Zealand, Ltd, Kent Prior Real Estate, and the sharebroking firm of Hamilton, Hindin and Greene. Miles Laboratory will donate $3OOO worth of glucometers, which are issued to diabetics for individual testing. The Zonta Club plans to make Saturday a real fun day at the races. There will be pony rides and entertainment for the children and a demonstration of side-saddle riding by the newly-formed Canterbury Ladies’ SideSaddle Club. There will also be a

chance of a trip for two to the Auckland Cup, a prize for the best-dressed female patron.

Air New Zealand will provide the transport to and from Auckland and Pyne Gould Guinness will donate a $l5O accommodation voucher. The Canterbury Jockey Club will have a five-race jackpot on Saturday’s meeting, with a starting pool of $37,661.
