Hi Nick, yes Towcester is on on Tuesday night..I'm working at the University Tues/Wednesday but if you decide to go let me know and I might persuade myself to come too LOL...

dawnrogers · **Joined:** Fri Nov 23, 2007 9:11 am **Posts:** 1227

first race will be about 6pm....

Sazzle · **Posted:** Fri May 15, 2009 11:37 pm

Is that this Tuesday coming (ie 19th May??) if so I too would be up for going to the races, just let me know the time etc...

Diane · **Posted:** Sat May 16, 2009 9:08 pm

They can't be at Towcester - the sun's out!! Must be somewhere else..

I can't make the 29th, probably can't make Tues as it's his nibs' quiz night, I'll see/work on him tomorrow lol ...

Weather at the moment looking slightly iffy - showers - which means sideways rain knowing that place...

Ok guys the racing starts at 6pm (first race) last race 8.30 but will probably be a bumper (ie no jumping) so not of much interest.

The weather forecast is rubbish as usual :-(

if your going let me know, I'll try and make it but not sure what time I'm going to get finished up at the uni... otherwise anyone who isnt going tomorrow can go on the 29th that is the LAST meetin g of the season, restarts again in October :-)

but they will be afternoon meetings, evening meets don't start again until next May! So its your last chance this year !!!!

Diane · **Posted:** Mon May 18, 2009 11:46 am

I'm not going to be able to make it..

Wayne · **Posted:** Mon May 18, 2009 5:23 pm

I think we can make it on Friday too. Hope the horses don't run too fast so that I have time to get myself a decent photograph. :lol:

Hi Everyone,
The first race is 6.30pm last race 9pm!

If you go the back way to the races, through Stoke bruerne you won't get held up in the traffic :-)

Remember NO FLASH !!!!!!!!!! It spooks the horses and will make you very unpopular and its dangerous ! Its free to get in and free to park! The are bars and food available :-)

You can take in picnics if you want to.

I'm now working in Watford late afternoon, so not exactly sure what time I'll get there :-(

just depends on M25 :-(

Nickb · **Posted:** Thu May 28, 2009 9:05 am

I will be there just before the first first race, last time we met up a couple of fences down from the finish line, so when you get in go towards the front of the stand past the food trucks and head to the right and walk down the side of the track away from the finish line and you will see us
if you get lost and dawns not there yet give me a call on 07971 209899
