00:15 You said your family's been coming here for 12 years, is that right?

00:22 Yeah, my stepdad's family's from the area.

00:24 So we come over every year as a tradition.

00:27 And it's obviously a tradition that really resonates with your family.

00:31 Yeah, yeah.

00:33 Stepdad's dad is buried in the wall here,

00:37 so we come over every year to remember him by coming to the races.

00:41 Oh, lovely. Thank you very much.

00:43 Well, I think it's just a once-a-year event.

00:52 It's very community-orientated,

00:54 and a lot of people sort of treat it as a reunion as well,

00:58 so a lot of people leave here and come back for it.

01:01 It's just a great catch-up, a great social day.

01:03 Hey guys, you're from WALCA, is that right?

01:06 Yes.

01:07 I'm thinking this is probably not the first time you've been here.

01:10 No, definitely not.

01:12 What do you like most about coming to the WALCA Cup meeting?

01:17 Yeah, it just brings everyone together at the same time, for you too.
