The Moe Racing Club is deeply saddened by the passing last weekend of our former chairman and life member Mr Ron Jones.  Ron was elected to the committee in 1985 and served the local racing community on the committee until 2003 with a period as the chairman from 1993 until 1997.  In recognition of his service and dedication to the club, Ron was made a life member in 2002.

Ron has been an active participant in the club and community for many years and with his wife Betty was a regular attendant at all Moe racedays.  Ron was also actively involved in owning, training and racing thoroughbreds with his son Ian, a local Moe trainer.

“People like Ron are the reason community organisations and raceclubs in particular continue to survive and serve the interests of the local community” said current chairman Paul Davis.  “Ron was well liked and respected in the racing industry and his passing is a great loss to us all.”
