The Vaal Grooms Forum was formed after more than a year of scurrying to and fro between various grooms associations in Racing where elections could not take place due to alleged intimidation and the voting process not taking place. The Vaal Grooms decided to get on with things, in the meantime.
The Vaal Grooms elected a representative from each of the 19 Trainers yards at Vaal. These elected representatives then elected a committee of 3 grooms. The Grooms Committee attend Trainers Representative meetings and participate in our meetings. A lot has been achieved already.
We will be holding our inaugural Annual Grooms Day on Sunday 30th April 2017. The day will feature a knock out Soccer cup. 16 teams will play in 15 games. The games will be on a smaller field, 10 minutes each way and the format will be 5 a side. There will also be athletics races on the Turf over 100m, 200m and 800m.
The theme will be bring and braai. We have asked all Vaal Trainers to supply their grooms with braai packs. The beer garden will be open.
Any and every form of donation/sponsorship will be appreciated. All monies go to the grooms in the form of cash prizes on the day.
Anyone wishing to come out for the day is welcome. There will be many braai fires on the go and there will be jumping castles for the kids, paramedics on stand by, extra security, music , Tellytrack will cover the event and all sponsors will be thanked on the sponsor board.etc.
The day starts at 09h00 until 17h00. (Duty grooms will go back to feed and water horses again late afternoon)
We see this as our way of giving the grooms their special day for the efforts that they put in for Racing.
