I'm going to the Melbourne Cup! And I'm pretty excited about it!
Its my first time - has anyone on PH been? Any advice to offer - particularly on where is best to watch from (Banks? Undercroft? The Lawn)? Is there a dress code - we're going on Cup day?
Fantastic, thanks guys - it sounds right up my street! I've managed to get tickets for Cup and Oaks days in the Lawn grandstand. Whatever else I wear, I'll have my drinking boots on
