A big thankyou to everyone involved in pulling off a brilliant weekend and making us all so welcome. The track was spot on with a good covering of grass and a nice long run off and the lads did a brilliant job on the lure and traps. The prizes and payout were first class - this is how all opens should be run!

Congratulations to all the winners over the weekend, there were some brilliant races.

Only problem is we all came home a stone heavier with those gorgeous cakes ;)

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for making this weekend a success. I really enjoyed the three days, especially the Saturday night dancing!

Was so chuffed that visitors stuck around for the Monday, your efforts were really appreciated.

On a personal note thank you Ray for helping me with the dogs and sponsoring the memorial event through jackets/trophies/ raffle prizes etc.(Thanks Dave for the scratch one too ). We also raised over £500 for the charities to split so thank you to everyone who made big donations! The whole day was a lovely way to remember both Sheila Webb and Rob Poole, sure they would have been smiling down on us.

Thanks again EVERYONE!
 
Well done to all who took part. It sounds like you all had a good time.
