Why should I purchase a Season Pass with the Wimmera Racing Club? 
A season pass with the Wimmera Racing Club represents outstanding value for money with entry into 32 race meetings across racecourse venues in the Wimmera region (Ararat, Donald, Great Western, Horsham, Murtoa, Nhill, St Arnaud, Stawell, Warracknabeal).
The Wimmera Racing Club functions alongside the individual local clubs and aims to ensure that the Wimmera clubs work together co-operatively with a broader goal of strengthening and promoting thoroughbred racing throughout the region.  Accordingly, your season ticket provides a broader support to the sport of racing in our region, as well as directly to your local nominated club.

A Wimmera Racing Club season ticket provides BOTH full voting membership to your nominated local Racing Club, as well as a non-voting season pass with the Wimmera Racing Club with payment being split 50/50 between those entities on receipt by Wimmera Racing. 

Does my membership application need to be ratified by the board to join as a new member? 
Yes, new members will have their application approved by the nominated local racing club at the next committee meeting. If your application is declined for any reason, you will receive a full refund. 

How can I pay for a membership?
Memberships can be purchased online with secure payment with a Visa or Mastercard. Please contact us for alternative payment methods.  

Are there members’ only facilities that I have access to on race day? 
We suggest that you make contact with each Wimmera club prior to race day to determine the member’s facilities available on race day. 

Can I bring children into the Members’ facilities?

Is there a dress code in the Members’ facilities?
