Racing industry participants in the Mid North Coast Racing Regions are invited to attend the next Racing Mates BBQ ‘Get-Together’ at the Taree race meeting on Friday 15th August.

Racing Mates ambassador Pat Webster will be trackside to host the event, which promotes ‘mates looking out for mates’.

“We are pleased to be returning to the Mid North Coast Racing Districts and catching up with racing participants at the Taree race meeting," Webster said.

Racing Mates is a peer support initiative established by Racing NSW, empowering mates to look out for mates. Effective support offered from peers and colleagues can aid significantly in coping with stress and difficult situations.

Racing Mates ambassadors, led by Webster, are available as a port of call when industry participants are in need of a mate.

“Racing Mates provides access to clinical psychologists, counsellors and assistance hotlines - ambassadors such as myself can provide that link to participants in need of assistance," Webster said.

"Our BBQ gatherings are all about bringing the racing community together for a chat. There is nothing better than talking to someone who understands where you're coming from.”

The BBQ will be held for participants from 11.30am near the raceday stalls area, prior to the Taree raceday hosted by Manning Valley Race Club.
