Stable visit planned for mid morning (times to be confirmed shortly).

NB. Members don't need to be on the weekend break to participate in this event.

This is a mixed yard with both flat and jumps horses in training. The yard is at Otterburn in Northumberland.
After the visit racing at Redcar is a possibility (2yo trophy day) although it is about a 2 hour drive.
However, Kielder Water & Kielder Forrest are quite close by
to make an interesting afternoon out http://www.visitkielder.com

Please contact Phil Evans to reserve spaces for the visit. Tel 0161 973 5921

As usual we shall collect donations of £5 per adult on the day to pass onto stable staff
as a thank you for giving their time with us.

Wednesday October 17th - Racing Authors Night

Please note that the original date has been changed so we can use a space at
The Tetley Club in Warrington, Start time 7.45pm

Two great racing authors will be appearing to share their experiences of the horse racing world
and also their book writing experiences.

They are Chris Pitt (A Long Time Gone etc) and John Pinfold (History of Aintree etc)

It will help if places can be reserved in advance. Contact Phil Evans 0161 973 5921

Entry fee is £5 on the night (including sandwiches).
