WELCOME HOME

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News and Events.

WELCOME HOME PETER
It was great to see Peter and Annie arrive home safely. Peter said it was a fantastic rewarding trip. Very successful in signing Deals for the Meat Trade and also a new Chinese Partner- Mr Chen, who Peter has a long standing business and friendship with for the Amelia Park Wines.
It is mind boggling to me the amount of Container Loads of Meat and Wine that will be exported.

Everyone on the trip had a fabulous holiday and there were some great stories of their adventures.

I believe Jessica was really pleased to see Mum home (a few birthday presents to unwrap).

BOULDER CUP
AMELIAS DANCER - 4TH
Peter was very pleased with Dancers run, right up there until just dropping off at the finish. It seems the 1600 is more suited so Dancer is coming home for a well earned rest for about 6 weeks. Well done and I will enjoy having a chat when home at the Farm.

AMELIA PARK WINES - ROYAL SHOW JUDGING
GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE
THE AWARDS KEEP COMING
Peter is thrilled with Jeremy's exceptional efforts in again bringing home Winners. It has certainly been a Wonderful Year for Amelia Park Wines.

WORLD AWARDS IN LONDON
Amelia Park Wines was in the final 8 for the Judging which China took the GOLD.
Peter absolutely chuffed with their achievement in World Judging.

AMELIA PARK
The heat is off at the Stables for only a short while, so it gives the Staff time to spend educating the foals and getting prepared for the next onslaught.

THE AVIARY
Glenn received some wonderful compliments from a team of Vets carrying out Tests on the birds. They were full of praise to Peter on building such World Class Enclosures and the tranquil garden setting surrounds. Glenn said they commented that they are the best both had seen and it is a credit to both Peter and Glenn for showing such care of these beautiful Birds.

FLY IN FLY OUT
Peter entertained Business Clients from Korea. They flew in yesterday, had Dinner with Peter, stayed in the Guest House overnight and left to fly home today. They remarked to Peter that they have never stayed on a FARM LIKE THIS BEFORE.

AND LASTLY ----

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS - TO ME.

Enjoy this lovely weather and look forward to reporting next week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks update.

As you know Peter is still away in China so I will keep this report brief and next week update everyone on all the happenings from Peter.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JESSICA - ENJOY YOUR DAY
Everyone at Amelia Park wish every happiness to this lovely girl who is growing up VERY FAST. 11 TODAY!!!
Remember back to how exciting it was at THAT AGE. I would think a lot of presents coming her way (especially from China), very exciting for her.

SYNDICATE HORSE NAMING
We have been informed of the Names chosen for the Horses and alot of the Members have been visiting them at Amelia Park as they get ready for Pre-Training for their future racing for the Syndicate. I think a Horse Naming Celebration get together is a great idea.

AMELIA PARK WINE LUNCHEON
September 23rd - FULL HOUSE
Everyone in the Wine Club are looking forward to Wining and Dining at Jacksons, it will be a delectable meal with top class Wines.

We all await Peters return, I know he will be chuffed with the progress of THE BIG HOUSE, it is certainly something special.

I look forward to sending thru Peters report next week.

ENJOY THE WEEKEND EVERYONE!!

Shelley

CHINA - HERE WE COME

Welcome everyone, hope you enjoyed your weekend.





CHINA TODAY


Peter flies out today for a very busy excursion in China. I am sure it will be a rewarding trip with the signing of the WINE DEAL which we wish him every success with.
He will be able to celebrate with the rest of the crew that are also going to China so all in all the best time will be had.

TENNIS REUNION
Peter had a great day, firstly hosting the Race Day for 20 odd past Tennis Club Members and some friends, and then as they say "What happens in Perth - stays in Perth".
Obviously some of the morning heads weren't functioning properly as a few items were left in the Hotel rooms, funny how it seems to happen when the woman isn't there!!!!!

RACING
Dion has been spending a busy time at the Farm with Pre-Training so it won't be long before we see some action happening.

AMELIA PARK
I have to share my mornings with you and tell you that as well as living at this beautiful place, I enjoy the mornings the most where I sit on my veranda and watch the horses coming back from the track where they are let out into the Front Paddocks to let off steam. Their antics and running are just the best to watch, its a great start to the day.


Well I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will report to you next week.

DANCERS GREAT WIN

Hello everyone and welcome to our Weekly News & Events.


AMELIAS DANCER
HOME 1ST AGAIN

Lou was right and Dancer did not disappoint over 1600m. It was a great run and Dancer seems to enjoy this distance.
Now for a rest and will decide in the next couple of weeks where to next - Boulder Cup???

BIRTHDAY BASH
Peter had a fantastic night of CELEBRATIONS at the Birthday Party for Vangie Kailis and also several toasts to Dancers Win that day.


ANOTHER COLT
Coming from great Stock LADY SHERIFA/HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR
A Star for the future!!

TENNIS REUNION
Peter has organised his mates for a 20 Year TENNIS REUNION. They will start the day at the Races and then onto ?????????????? Peter is really looking forward to catching up and swapping lots of stories from the great Nights they had, most of them when Peter was living at Broadwater Resort. Glenn usually had to have the next morning off - Funny how a game of Tennis and a steak can roll into the next morning. It will be interesting to see this nights outcome. A slow drive home I would imagine!!!

CHINA
Next week Peter leaves for China to carry out some EXCITING WINE BUSINESS DEALS. Also accompanying Peter will be Annie, Jeremy and Daniela, Neil and Denise, Bill O'Byrne and Fiona. What a great group to travel with and I'm sure they will have the best time, I look forward to hearing their stories.
BE SAFE AND ENJOY!

Everything and everybody - including the Horses - are going full steam at the Farm. It is time for fertilising and spraying at the moment so all hands on deck.
THE CREEK is flowing strong!!!


Enjoy the rest of the week and look forward to reporting same time, same channel.

WHAT A FEAST

Hello everyone and welcome to our News Update.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU EAT
Our Wonderful Boss Peter took his staff and some friends (25 in total) to a Chinese Banquet this week.
He had pre ordered so as soon as seated - THE FOOD STARTED ARRIVING.
I lost count of the dishes that were presented ( I think I missed a few courses as couldn't keep up. It was all superbly presented and the staff very efficient and obliging. We again thank Peter for his generosity.
The Cellar Door was opened after Dinner and don't know the time it was closed!!!

NO MORE POTHOLES
At last our gravel road has been repaired by the Shire. It has been weeks and we have been contending with major potholes. This part of the road is public and we were always waiting for someone to come to grief, especially at night when it is deathly dark. The riders have also been very careful when bringing the horses to and from the track along this part of the road as they get spooked easily. We hope no more potholes for a while.

AMELIAS DANCER
BELMONT SATURDAY
Dancer has been freshened up and will run the 1600m which they feel is better suited to the Miler. Good Luck to all.

AMELIA PARK
Peter will again be in the dungarees tomorrow and doing the Fertilising shift. All the dogs on the farm are having a ball following behind, I think Peter must put a little extra there for them.

Saturday Peter is off to Perth to help Vangie Kailis celebrate her 50th Birthday at their Restaurant, Peter is really looking forward to the night. They may also have a double celebration if Dancer comes over the line.

Next week will see a busy schedule for Peter hosting Clients arriving from Russia and Germany for a few days.
After they leave Peter will fly down to Esperance to catch up with more clients, HE MAKES ME GIDDY!

ITALIAN COOKING by DION
Peter will report to me on the Dinner that Dion is preparing tonight at the Guest House. I can then promote his skills to you next week.


Enjoy your week everyone and happy racing.

THE FEEL OF SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks report.

I do apologise for being late, COMPUTERS!!!!! They are a wonderful thing - but SOMETIMES! and it can't be me!!!!

BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAYS
These last few days have been absolutely perfect - a bit chilly in the mornings mind you but it really feels like Spring. I do hope though that there is still some rain about.

BIRTHDAY BEEN AND GONE
All the celebrations are over so its back to work for all the horses, the stables are overflowing and the track is being worked overtime. A lot of young ones are being educated which is great to watch the staff handling them.

AMELIA PARK WINES
RATED THE HIGHEST WITH 5 STARS
Peter is thrilled that JAMES HALLIDAY has rated Amelia Park Wines overall with 5 STARS. What a fantastic accolade and we congratulate Peter and Jeremy.

Congratulations
To the New Owners of RED TIME RUNNER having a WIN in Broome, what a thrill for them.

AMELIA PARK
Peter had a great night hosting Dinner for Percy who arrived from Singapore with some friends. Percy is a part Owner with Peter in Amelias Dancer and also a part of the Syndicate. A juicy steak and several fine Reds at the Cellar created an enjoyable night.

Peter is enjoying a few weekends at the Farm before he jets off again. He is out of the office chair and out and about doing chores which he then needs a visit to Peggy for a Massage then back into it. He says by being around he is also keeping his eye on what goes on - WE SAY - TIME TO JET OFF - BEEN HOME LONG ENOUGH!!!!

STAFF DINNER
Peter must be pretty happy with his Staff as he is treating all to a Chinese Banquet next week which we are looking forward to and its good to spend social time together. I hope he has put the PEKING DUCK on his order.

I AM ENVIOUS AGAIN
Peter has booked his Ticket to Melbourne for THE GRAND FINAL. He has been invited by his great friend Rob Wiley as a guest at the Life Members Box and also to the pre Luncheon. I have checked the diary and advised Peter that I am available!!

Well everyone I hope you enjoy the rest of the week and look forward to posting next weeks upcoming news.

A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO 'HORSES'

Welcome everyone, hope your week was enjoyable and make the following report.

A GOOD SIGN

SECRET VAULT had a beautiful Foal on the HORSES BIRTHDAY, so hopefully this colt will be a future Winner.

Still quiet for these winter months for RACING.

COME ON SPRINGTIME!

AMELIAS DANCER should be running next week and will keep you posted. Dancer will be put back into the 1600-1800m races as just not getting there with the longer distances.

AMELIA PARK SYNDICATE

Adrian is sending through some great reports and I look forward to when they hit the track for their future racing.

SOLD OUT

I waited to long - THE AMELIA PARK WINE CLUB LUNCHEON AT JACKSONS was posted last week and has already SOLD OUT. Peter was delighted with such quick enthusiasm.

He advised that there will be Tastings of the New Wine Releases in October to be held at Amelia Park and will advise dates when organised.

MORE SEVERE WINDS

Amelia Park is losing trees by the day. A large one went over and took our black beauty horse statue with it. She is back on display with a bit of bruising to the head. Shame we couldn't save the tree.

Peter was commenting on how upsetting it is to plant the trees, nurture them, watch them grow and then GONE. He dreads the drive home each night to what damage may await at the farm. BUT he does enjoy seeing the flowing CREEK. I had to get it in!!!!

DINNER PARTY

Peter very much enjoyed hosting Dinner for Louis from Arrowfield Stud in the Hunter Valley. His lights were still on late in the night, Horses, Horses and more Horse stories were swapped, a great night had.

Thats all the current news so enjoy your week and look forward to reporting next week.
