    Racing on the Gold Coast dates back to the 1890’s when an occasional public meeting was run in the old cane paddocks of Bundall, not far from the present Gold Coast Turf Club.Regular racing at its present headquarters began on 15 May 1946 when the club was known as the Southport and District Amateur Race Club (formed on 17 March 1946). Racing in those days was on a sand track.Hosting approximately 60 race meetings each season, the Gold Coast Turf Club is also home to several highly anticipated major events. The largest event is the Magic Millions Raceday held in January each year as part of the Magic Millions Carnival & Yearling Sale held over 10 days on the Gold Coast.Other featured events include the prestigious Melbourne Cup Raceday, Prime Minister’s Cup Carnival, Easter Carnival, Gold Coast Stakes Raceday and Gold Coast City Cup Raceday.The Gold Coast Turf Club has become one of the most sought after function venues on the Gold Coast. Both Raceday and non-raceday functions are held throughout the year in a number of unique venues including the Winners Circle, Dome, Paradise Room, Southern Lawn Marquee, Board Room and the Magic Millions Bar, our major feature events throughout the year are booked out months prior to the day!Source: this is an extract from the company’s own website

    It has changed my life, my way of thinking and problem solving and communication and given me qualifications, knowledge and understanding that I will have for life. Jackson - AV and Wagering Tech (GCTC)
    The good thingsThrough the week your just cruising, developing projects and ideas to better the venue in every way and fix problems, Saturdays are my favourite, 8am -6pm only on Saturday and it feels like only a couple hours. Controlling audio levels in areas through new integrated tech and fixing problems that’s arise. Honestly it’s only a role for someone who loves to learn, there is people to call for every problem that arises and in the end you learn a significant amount and becomes friends with everyone in the venue and major broadcasting channels like channel 7 and SKY TV. The Managers and overall staff is exceptionally nice (especially when you fix their issues) and will help and support wherever they can if you get overwhelmed at any point.
    The challengesOne challenge is you have to be strong as some patrons get fairly angry when things don’t go their way. This is hard at the time but you develope great communication skills and awareness out of a bad situation.
