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?
01:15 The day out.
01:17 Yeah, it just brings everyone together at the same time, for you too.
