Speaker 3: your listeners.

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: It's so wonderful to have you in the studio, Hannah,

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: because some of our listeners may or may not be aware,

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: but you've been in many media roles behind the scenes

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: for quite a long time. And I tell you what,

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: when we saw your name on this pressure release, we

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: all thought that is an absolutely fantastic pick for the

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: Darwin Cup Carnival.

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: Thank you, Katie. It is actually so exciting to be

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: here in the studio with you. I've sat in the

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: producer's box with your producer Ronnie for many hours probably

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: if you added it all up, so now in the

19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: studio with you, and it's extremely exciting. I couldn't be

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: more excited for this year's Cup Carnival right.

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: Honestly, I can't think of a more perfect person for

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: this role. You are incredibly stylish and you're also a

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: fantastic ambassador for the Northern Territory in general.

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about taking on this job.

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: Well, I'm so flattered to have been picked by the

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: Turf Club for this year's Cup Carnival. I've lived in

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: the Northern Territory for on eight years now and have

28
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: been involved in racing in a number of different capacities,

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 3: most recently as a part owner of a Clark Stable horse.

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: So really it's just an extension of something that I

31
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: already love to do, something I'm already involved in, and

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: I'm just really pleased to be able to play my

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: part in promoting the Cup Carnival this year to our

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: local and even interstate visitors.

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: And you're also a young member, as I understand it,

36
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: so you have quite a bit to do with the

37
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: Turf Club and horse racing more generally, don't you.

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's just been something that over the years has

39
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: become a bit of a passion, you might say. It

40
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: started that I would attend, like many other young territories

41
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: for some of those bigger race days, and then friends

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: and I became more involved. I've entered fashions on the

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: field over the years as well, which has been extremely

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: entertaining and fun in different capacities, and then as well

45
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: having a regular group of women that I've done Ladies

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: Say Tables with as well, So now a member also

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: a member of Women in Thoroughbred Racing and Tea and

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: this year as an ambassador as well. So it couldn't

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: be happier exciting stuff.

50
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: Now, how do you go through the process.

51
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: Obviously it's not all about the fashion, but a lot

52
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: of women do really look to the fashion when it

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: comes to the Cup Carnival. I love looking at everybody's

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: beautiful outfits and you are somebody who's always dressed incredibly stylishly, Hannah,

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: how are you going to go through the process of

56
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: choosing all your outfits for these for these big days

57
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: as well?

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: Well?

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: I'm so fortunate that I have a very supportive but

60
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: also robust friendship group that does provide that constructive criticism

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 3: from time to time as well. There's at least ten

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: outfits that I'll have to put together for this Cup Carnival,

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: and fortunately we've got some really great retailers and supplies

64
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: around the town. We've got some of the best millinery

65
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: in the country. And that's the thing. Darwin is always

66
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: batted above. It's average and in many aspects that particularly

67
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: on days like Ladies Dan and Cup Day, where a

68
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: lot of women in the Northern Territory make a lot

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: of effort in their outfits, I think that the stakes

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: are already quite high, and so I feel confident that

71
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: through local retailers, I will be able to put together

72
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 3: those looks that hopefully people respond well to well.

73
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: And I guess the other thing is, and you've touched

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: on this as well, is you know some people listening

75
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: might go, oh, come on, it's not all about fashion Wolfe.

76
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: But the thing is you're actually it's about.

77
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: Supporting our local businesses as well, and it's about really

78
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: promoting some of those wonderful businesses and other people getting

79
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: out there and you know, going and purchasing something that

80
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: they may have seen you where that they really like.

81
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: That's right. Our local retailers go to a lot of

82
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: effort during Cup Carnival to make sure there's shoes, make

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: sure there's millinery and handbags, accessories and dresses. So I

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: think that one of the roles of the ambassador is

85
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: to promote what is available locally, and we're just so

86
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: fortunate that our local store owners do do such a

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: marveless job.

88
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: And now, Hannah, I'm not sure whether you have this

89
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: detail or whether we follow up with the Turf Club,

90
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: but obviously with COVID there was a lot of changes

91
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: last year. But things are getting back to normal this year,

92
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: aren't they Absolutely.

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: Last year was just unprecedented for everybody, and the Turf

94
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: Club were no different. They amended their Cup Carnival calendar

95
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: to reflect the conditions at that time. But this year

96
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: they are back with that full eight day calendar, which

97
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: I think is extremely exciting. The Turf Club tell me

98
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: that for Cup Down particular, nearly all of the corporate

99
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: box options are fully subscribed.

100
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: Wow, the Gala Ball.

101
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 3: Has already sold more tickets than last year and we

102
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: haven't even hit Easter yet, So I think from that perspective,

103
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: there's a lot of interest in this year's Cup Carnival.

104
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: I think this will be one of the biggest, biggest years,

105
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 3: particularly in recent times, so it's very exciting.

106
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon it's going to be a cracking year

107
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: because everybody's sort of had that year that's been quite disrupted.

108
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: We're all able to sort of travel into state again,

109
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: so hopefully we see plenty of interstate visitors and it's

110
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: a wonderful year.

111
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: It certainly sounds like there's an int from interstate, so

112
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: I think if you are thinking about buying your tickets,

113
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: you need to get in there early. I know they're

114
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: already on sale, so you can duel of that via

115
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: the Turf Club and they'll be happy to help you.

116
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: Oh, good stuff.

117
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: Well, Hannah West the great Northern Darwin Cup Carnival Ambassador

Speaker 3: Thanks Katie and look forward to speaking to you again soon.

125
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: woman and a fantastic ambassador as far as we're concerned

126
