Rain can't wash out 150th Open Day

Despite the washout of the eagerly anticipated derby match with old rivals Grange due to the incessant Saturday rain, the club's Open Day went ahead as planned. Visitors from the local community were treated to a feast of home baking and traditional Carlton hospitality.

During the afternoon, Alastair Keatinge of the Grange Association dodged the heavy showers to perform the official opening of the Carlton 150th Anniversary Gates.
