Charlie chalks up a milestone
It might have taken 21 seasons, but Moonee Valley President Graeme "Charlie" Walker has finally ticked over 150 games. A specialist at being the last man picked in the lowest team and a designated No. 12 bat/bowling at 13th change - Charlie hasn't exactly set the records tumbling over his career. You're more likely to find him off the field than on the field - scoring for the Firsts, and ensuring that the admin and processes are in place to give our onfield teams the best support and the best chance each week. But the first week back after the Christmas break was Charlie's chance to grab some of the spotlight. Captained for the day by Allan Cumming, the Fifths, playing at home, chased down a solid target set by East Coburg and won the January 6 match in Charlie's honor. Above: Charlie Walker walks through the guard of honor of his clubmates from the Fifths and the Seconds. He brought his own cheer squad of "Charlie's Angels" led by wife Adele - who was celebrating a double milestone as the match day was also her 69th birthday. We wish them both many more - games for Charlie and birthdays for Adele. ***For more pictures, click HERE
