Second blog post


When I knew that I was having Public Relations Internship unit this semester, I absolutely has no idea where I would be doing my internship and certainly not the Mauritius Turf Club, this thought never crossed my mind as I knew that they do not have a Public Relations department but when I talked to the Communications and Events Manager, he said that he would do the needful for me and finally, I started to do my internship where deep-down I really wanted to. I started my internship on a Monday, during the first tuition-free week of the semester and this week coincided with the Maiden because the Maiden Cup would be run on the following Sunday and I started my internship on Monday, that is 6 days away from the Maiden. To start my internship, I was given the Princess Margaret Cup to work on, which was sponsored by the South African Horseracing Industry, which would be run in two weeks, but I was also given some Maiden-related tasks to do as there was also the Draw Ceremony for the Maiden Cup which was held 4 days prior to the Maiden and I finally attended this event both as an intern and as a staff of the Studio of the Mauritius Turf Club.
