Former Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Pallaras, KC, will be sharing the details of a South Australian murder case he prosecuted, in this talk at 7.15pm, 2 October at Hotel Renmark.
This is a horrific, calculated and very cold murder case that took place within a South Australian family. Stephen was the trial prosecutor for this case and this in-depth account will share personal insights and take you behind the scenes of this gripping true crime. Always respectful of the victim, it promises to be an informative, engaging and interactive night. Not just for fans of true-crime, it's for anyone interested in the legal system and how it works.
Our aim is to create a family orientated atmosphere for young and old alike where everyone can enjoy a great day's racing. The 600 metre long track is super fast and creates some excellent racing with it’s kidney shape layout providing a long sweeping corner with some tight bends to keep it real.
Members of the public are welcome to come along and enjoy the racing. Bring your family or mates along for good day out. At this stage, entry is free for spectators, but we do charge a gate fee on our BRE days. A pit pass can be purchased for $10 to get up and close to the drivers and their karts. There are canteen facilities and a bar on race days. For most meetings, the racing commences at around 2pm and finishes around 7-8pm. We have lights for night racing. Come along and enjoy the fun!
