NEW PRECINCT WILL CAPTURE TRUE COUNTRY STYLE fare such as ploughman's platters, cheese platters and baked goods. Premium wine, beer and beverages will complement the food available.

‘The Paddock’ will no doubt be a popular addition to the Oakbank Easter Carnival and will provide a meeting place for SA’s “it” crowd. Music and ‘old school’ outdoor activities such as bocce and croquet will entertain ‘Paddock’ patrons.

The ideal dress code for “The Paddock” should be Country Chic with touches of refined glamour. Think riding boots, knits, woollen coats and plaid scarves if it is cold and tailored shirts, country style dresses and stylish summer hats if the weather calls for it.

Look out for ‘The Paddock’ this Easter and soak up the country picnic atmosphere in this stylish new setting. Entry will be free to Oakbank Members on Easter Saturday & Easter Monday and a $10 entry fee will apply to general admission. Entry tickets to the Paddock can be pre-purchased from the Oakbank website.

An exciting new precinct will be launched at the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival in 2014. Designed to appeal to a sophisticated set of race goers, “The Paddock” will be the place to see and be seen this Easter.

We look forward to welcoming Oakbank members and race-goers to the newest and most stylish place to enjoy the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival.

Open to members and general admission for its inaugural launch, ‘The Paddock’ will be located behind the members grandstand on the lawns between the members grandstand and horse stall area. This area will not only provide a beautiful setting, but will be central to all of the racing action and social activity on-course.

The precinct will combine laid back luxury with nostalgic elements of Oakbank’s heritage in an idealic country setting. Vintage inspired styling and an overall look of country chic will contribute to the “city meets country” vibe.

The handpicked local vendors will be offering an assortment of seasonal produce and gourmet picnic Oakbank Racing Club - Oakwood Road, Oakbank, SA Postal Address: PO Box 26, Oakbank, SA, 5243 Telephone: (08) 8388 4072 Facsimile: (08)8388 4195 Email: info@oakbankracingclub.com.au Web: www.oakbankracingclub.com.au
