The twelve race program gets under way at 12pm on Sunday.
Club secretary, Barbara Montefiore, said that in honour of their milestone anniversary, the day’s races have taken the moniker of those who got things underway all those years ago.
“Each race is named after the foundation committee members of the first meeting here fifty years ago,” she said.
