AFMEA/AMM/AIMM Welcome Reception (by invitation only)
In the hearts and minds of Australians, Flemington Racecourse is synonymous with the Melbourne Cup. Run continuously since its inception in 1861, the Cup is the “race that stops a Nation”. Over three-quarters of Australians either attend the Cup or watch it on television. It is one of the world's most widely watched races and is viewed by an estimated 700 million people around the globe. It is for one magical week in Spring when Melbourne comes alive with a flurry of food, fashion and world class thoroughbred racing. Your exclusive invitation to Flemington will be a night to be remembered with many special experiences but we want to surprise you so more details will be revealed closer to the event….but one thing is for sure you will need to dress in true Melbourne style for the races…
