This one was taken in a little restaurant called Backstage in George St, Sydney in 1980. The occasion was a farewell dinner to legendary Newcastle race caller Billy Hill (centre in brown jacket) who had just announced his retirement.
This one was snapped by Ron Bickley at a Newcastle meeting in the early seventies. Domestic airline TAA sponsored a race callers day and commentators were flown in from all parts of Australia.
This one was snapped at a Parramatta Hotel in 1994. A large group of race callers assembled for the official launch of a new book called “London to a brick on” - a salute to Australian race calling.
There were more commentators than horses at this race callers day, hosted by the Coff’s Harbour Race Club, in the mid-nineties. We all responded to an early “muster” at the Pelican Beach Resort for a casual photo, following a pretty heavy night.
