Spring Racing 2009

Wow what a fabulous Spring Racing Carnival - Stadium Signs provided marquee signage for Betfair Young Members Marquee at Caulfield Race Course - signage consisted of a 20 metre banner inside the marquee, and a 6 metre entrance banner. Bar signage was provided along with drinks and food menus.

The Dunkeld Cup was held on Saturday 14th November in the Southern Grampians. Betfair were major sponsors of the event and had a corporate marquee with a large number of invited guests. Stadium Signs provided on course and event signage for Betfair who had a corporate marquee with full bar and food service.

Stadium Signs are currently dressing the MCG for the Cricket season including behind wicket signage, sightscreens, trivisions, parapets, boundary ropes and corporate suites.

cheers for now

Betfair signage at Mildura racecourse

Stadium Signs recently completed building and installing Betfair signage at Mildura racecourse. The guys built a large Betfair sign at the start of the straight - 2.4 x 9.6metres. The ground was so dry that the hole digger got stuck, the hole was filled with water and left overnight before the job could be completed. The other signs were relatively trouble free and the guys enjoying a leisurely 8 hour journey back home.

All good fun

Lots of signs

We produced these tear drop banners for Ay-Up Lighting - they took them to cycling events in Canada, USA and the UK.

The Vegemite campaign was created by Mindshare, creative by JWT and signs by Stadium Signs. We installed these huge signs in the Fan Gallery at the MCG plus parapet signage on the ground in time for last weeks AFL game. Cheers Pamela

crashed

I have ridden all over the world in all sorts of conditions and never had an accident like this one. It was really stupid - I was crossing a railway line and managed to get a big piece of glass stuck in the front tyre of my MTB - I pulled it out and decided to keep riding - subsequently I went over the handlebars onto my face. I was knocked out and very confused for around 20 minutes. Luckily I was with my Fiancee's son who rang his father. I ended up with bruised ribs, black eye and a huge egg on my head, the worst thing was that I suffered headaches and vertigo for 7 days. So the lesson is.......................

race results and new event

We had a terrific time at Forrest - the weather was kind to us, there was a few showers so the tracks were quite slippery but managable. The race was around Marriners Track which is quite technical with fabulous berms and challenging drop offs. Leigh and Ashley (12 yo) went really well - the results were: 7 laps in 6:01:04 with an overall placing of 47 -that is pretty good out of a field of 56 - Ashley was the youngest competitor. Steven and Andrew completed 8 laps in 6:21:48 for an overall placing of 38.

We stayed Sunday night in Forrest and it rained all night - drove to Apollo Bay the next day for breakfast then a lovely drive on the Great Ocean Road back to Melbourne.

The next event is Sunday July 26 - 2009 Chase the Sun- Round 3. This is a 6 hour MTB race at Lysterfield including the Commonwealth Games Track. Once again Ashley and Leigh are competing - this time their team is called Stadium Signs. Steven is booked in but we are not sure if he is riding solo or not.

Here at work we are flat out getting parapet signs ready for the MCG football, plus 3 vehicles and lots of bits and pieces.

cheers

Leigh and Ashley are competing in the Forrest 6 hour MTB race on July 5th - their team name is Fat Guts and Maggot. Steve Lane and Andrew are competing as well - their team name is Pivotal Power. I am on the support team in the Taj Mahal marquee (feed and keep them warm). The boys from Stadium Signs are all at the MCG today installing the Telstra Trivision. Tomorrow they all go to the country to install Betfair signs at country racecourses - one team to Wangaratta and one to Swan Hill. We have just put on a new team member, Steve Van Teylingen - he is terrific - all the boys now have purple polo shirts and warm vests with our new branding. Wow it is windy here today - blowing a gale actually.
gotta go
