It's nearly time for the B+A Raceday at Cheltenham on Thursday 17th March
A few more details for those attending.
We are being picked up from by the Crown AF at 8.30am. I've made no arrangements for an early pub opening (its going to be a long long day ) but if anyone wants to do so then let me know ;D.
I'm sure the driver will make a stop on the way at the services, so we will make Cheltenham for around 11.00-11.30am. The course opens at 10.30am so the bars will be in full working order by the time we arrive.
Return is approx 1 hour after the last race at 6pm. Subject to everyone being happy with this, I was going to ask the driver if he could stop at a pub for a sharp half on the way back (there are one or two OK boozers just south of Kiddy ) This should mean us getting back into Town at about 9-9.30pm.
I will give everyone a few more details on the day. There will also be some tips from the Ghost to help you win some dough
On the day there will also be the chance to win some cash and raise money for B+A. A 'CHAMPION TIPSTER' competition will be running. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Basically it will go like this. Pick three horses in every race and if it is placed you get points depending on its starting price (plus a 10 point bonus if it wins) So for example, if you pick the winner at 4-1 you get 10 points for it winning and 4 points for the SP. If it was just placed then you only get the 4 points.
It will be £3 a go, and the winner gets 50% of money raised, runner-up gets 25% and B+A gets 25%
If any non-racegoers want a go, then post here to let me know and I will give you the details.
Finally, I have ONE ticket still spare, so if anyone else can make it let me know ASAP
Thanks, Terry.
