It has now been a tradition for the Conquer team to stop with the nation to enjoy the Melbourne Cup celebrations. This year we all meet at the Norman Hotel, Woolloongabba to enjoy a sit down lunch and a few beers. It was great to see Amanda and Akane join the celebrations with their lovely young daughters, Olivia & Archie.
Rowan and Al had a moment to recall the venues and restaurants that Conquer has celebrated the Melbourne Cup over the years:
- 2005: Restaurant in Seven Hills (Now a Thai restaurant near the round about) 
- 2006: 16 Footer Boat Club, Bulimba (Now closed) 
- 2007: Café Citrus 
- 2008: Lord Stanley, East Brisbane 
- 2009: Norman Hotel, Woolloongabba 
- 2010: East League Club, Coorparoo 
- 2011: Carina Leagues Club, Carina 
- 2012: East Leagues, Coorparoo 
A great time was had by all this year and the Conquer tradition of getting together and having a good time will continue.
