WITH the Moree Picnic Races synonymous with cutting edge style, it’s no surprise the event has captured the attention of

Australia’s leading retailer, David Jones.

Following last year’s success, two representatives from David Jones past and present Publicity team will again judge the

highly coveted Fashions on the Field competition at the Moree Picnics on Saturday, May 28.

Judges, Jenna Dinicola and Madeleine Wilson were extremely impressed by the high caliber of designs and had some wise

words of advice to give Moree’s Autumn race-goers the seasonal edge.

AUTUMN RACING 101

Ladies:

* Felt hats and sculptural fascinators are the must have piece to complete your outfit – remember straw is only

for spring racing

* Always ensure you take your hat to the hairdresser to have it fitted correctly

* Always have an option for cooler weather. A tailored cropped jacket is perfect

* Accessories are key. Ensure they all match as odd bits and pieces don’t give a polished look

* To avoid sinking into the grass opt for platform shoes or wedges as an alternative to stilettos

* Remember you are at the track, not in a nightclub, so keep it sophisticated and elegant. Plunging

necklines and ultra-minis are not suitable for the racetrack

Gentlemen

* A pocket-handkerchief is an essential for any man attending the races. It gives your outfit a polished,

sophisticated look

* Accessorising is just important for the men, as it is the women. This includes cuff links, shoes, a belt, tie and a

masculine timepiece

* Don't forget sunglasses. Look for classic shapes in elegant eyewear

* Polish your shoes and look for smart socks

Grant applications now open

The NSW Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) funds Carers NSW to provide grants of $250 to carer support groups and organisations, to plan events and activities for carers during National Carers Week which runs from Sunday 16 - Saturday 22 October 2016. Organising an event is a wonderful way to give family and friend carers a much needed break from the responsibilities of their caring role and to acknowledge the contribution they make to the community. Many

events attract new members to carer support groups and are a great way of reaching out to hidden carers in your area. Grant applications are open until 5.00pm on Monday 4 July 2016. You can apply online or email commsteam@carersnsw.org.au to request a printed copy of the application form. You will be notified of the outcome of your application by Friday 12 August 2016. If you are applying for a grant on behalf of a carer support group/organisation that does NOT have an ABN,

you are required to submit a Statement by a supplier formand a Donation Application form with your grant application, these forms are available on the Carers NSW website. Please send your completed forms tocommsteam@carersnsw.org.au or PO Box 785, North Sydney NSW 2059 by 5.00pm on Monday 4 July 2016.

What are Jamberry Nails? Jamberry Nail Wraps are the newest way to

accessorize your fingers and toes.

Get your own unique, professional nail design and say

“goodbye!” to nail polish. With today’s hottest

celebrities already wearing unique nail designs, it’s

quickly becoming a fashion “must have.”

The wraps are a solid film covering that can be

applied directly to the nail to achieve a look not found

anywhere else. This special material is both pressure

and heat activated to create a water tight bond to

your nail. The shields are made in the USA, with no

harsh chemicals and are latex free.This new nail

treatment can be applied in about fifteen minutes at

home. With over three hundred styles to choose from,

these designer wraps are made to last up to two

weeks on fingers and four or more on toes. Unlike

traditional nail polish, they won’t chip and require no

drying time. It’s so easy to achieve a professional,

salon look at a fraction of the cost.
