On the Sunday 29th November ,at the ASBK there is an upmarket lunch to be held in the corporate facility on the pit roof.  Tickets are $120.00 per person, which includes track entry for the weekend and program.

All PMCC members and friends are invited.

Past Harvie Wiltshire winners attending include:
Maurie Quincey Hartwell 1951,1956
Malcolm Stanton Sandringham 1964
John Maher East Malvern 1970,1972
Peter Allen Harley 1971
Andrew Johnson Preston 1979, 1980, 1984
Robbie Phillis, HRMV, 1981, 1982,1983,1985
Rene Bongers Hartwell 1989
Shawn Giles 1992 (also racing in the Harvie)
Peter Guest (Mildura) 1993,1994,1995
Alistair Maxwell 1998, 1999
Shannon Johnson Preston 2000 (also racing in the Harvie)
Steve Tozer Preston  2003,2006,2007
Troy Elliot Sandringham 2004
Chris Sali Preston 2008

Over the next couple of days, I expect some more past winners will confirm there attendance.

Unfortunately Trevor Pound, 1957,1959,1962  past PMCC president and one of Preston's favourite sons is unable to attend as he is running a race meeting in Adelaide this weekend.

Tickets to this event are selling fast, so if you wish to attend, you need to make a booking soon.  Please mention Preston so all the Harvie people can be seated together.
