While the club's manager and secretary Rob Tweedie said racing is a "small industry" within the region, he described it as a "community that brings people together".

"We don't have much down here so it's about socialising," Mr Tweedie said.

"It's not just about gambling and drinking, but it's also a good place to get out and do something.

"Socialising is good for your mental health, so it benefits the community for people who are a bit lonely."
