Addington Races during Cup Week.

1960s

My mother had 12 children including 4 sets of twins under the age of 8. Despite this she always used to take us to the Addington Races during Cup Week. Here are some of my siblings and I dressed to the nines as we arrived at the Raceway. Mum always took photo's of us on her Box Brownie Camera. She has recently passed away just prior to her 85th Birthday.
