You will find delicious food, bar service and afternoon tea (costs apply per person and please support the club).

Alternatively you are very welcome to come and buy yummy food at the Trough and Fodder for your other foodie needs.

Our Millamolong Charity Fund

Launched officially in 2011, in memory of James Ashton, our charity fund remembers the founder of the club and a man who was integral in raising over $170,000 for a variety of local and national charities. This is why our Charity fund is often referred to as JAF. The club is committed to continuing the tradition of fundraising money for our nominated charities including CMRI, Careflight, Breast Cancer Foundation, Ronald Mcdonald House, RDA (Riding for the Disabled), the Starlight Children's Foundation, CARE Australia and many more.

In 2012 we have committed to giving our charity funds to CARE Australia and RDA. These funds will be raised via our raffle tickets, 50% of all gate takings and $5 of EVERY VIPS Lounge Ticket sold will also go to our charity fund... so book your tickets now!

We are one of the very few affiliated sports clubs who do charity fundraising additionally to their own club fundraising.

Come and support the polo, so that we can keep the club going and at the same time continue to raise much needed funds and awareness for these charities.
