Blackbutt Mug - BBCC INC.

A night at the races is a great way to spend the evening, with the Blackbutt Community as a fundraiser for our own Blackbutt Memorial Hall. All of the guests can pick a horse from the runners in the programme, a horse name they like or their favourite number. Whichever one they think will win the race. If they are lucky, they can collect their winning prize money!!Betting tickets take the form of raffle tickets but it is just like the real thing.
At the start of the evening we will explain to our audience that we will use a 'betting tote system' to calculate the winnings in each race. A betting tote system works by collecting in all of the wagers before the race, a percentage of the income is retained for the charity – in this case – The Blackbutt Memorial Hall, and the remainder is divided between the winning betting tote tickets on the night.
