    any details for this then paul? buy in etc?
    Gaz, we should have all the details sorted within a couple of days at the most with regards to the "ticket" price which will cover drinks, food, dealers etc, although the buy in is pretty much up to us and what we want to pay. We should have it all sorted by Tuesday I expect, mate.:ok

    Best race course to visit

    Re: Best race course to visit

    I was going to post a thread asking if anyone has been to Cartmel. I was in Cartmel last year but no meeting was on at the time. I had a walk around the course, plenty photos of me and my kids jumping the fences (one or two on my facebook page). Always looks good on TV, feel sorry for the jockeys having to race by with the smell of the BBQs roasting away trackside. There's a trememdous chippy in Flookburgh for after racing, the legendary local sticky toffee pudding from the village shop (I had one tonight during the footy), the bakers in Grange do a fantastic steak pie for lunch on the way in, and their 'beesting' cakes are just amazing. Do I want to go back there or what?
    Cartmel is one on my list of "courses to visit", mate. I love to watch the racing from there and it's a pretty quirky course with the finishing straight going through the middle of the course, and I don't think I've seen houses as close to a racecourse as I have done at Cartmel. I watched one race and as the horses were at the post I saw a women pull her net curtains to one side to watch the start of the race which was literally yards from the front of her house:lol i'm pretty determined to make a meeting there this year:hope

    Re: In Loving Memory board

    Sorry Tipster, I for one don't feel comfortable with this thread. The fact that so many wonderful animals died so tragically in the pursuit of our entertainment, makes uncomfortable reading. Feel guilty about this, especially the "cause of death" column. I'm sorry, but I prefer to keep my head buried in the sand and not to be reminded of this. It is bad enough to hear of events such as yesterday at Aintree, but to see a whole list of tragic cases is soul destroying. :sad
    I'm with Nymrod here. In my opinion we don't need a warts and all dedicated thread or a list of "Fallen Heroes", if you like, in order to any more appreciate the entertainment these animals have given us over time. Simply put, I appreciate what horses and jockeys put on the line every time they race and I'm more than capable of reflecting accordingly to what extreme highs and lows the sport can bring without a thread like this, even though it's very obvious Tipster created it with the very best intentions.:ok

    Re: Going to the Cheltenham Festival

    Some of this lot on here go for drink first, the racing is secondary. :rollin:rollin I'll be working there for 4 days, and I hope we get hotelled in Cheltenham this year, it was a fecking drag to Worcester last year, not helped by being soaked through on Tuesday.
    Cass, are you working in the Best Mate enclosure like you were last year? Or have you managed to get an upgrade to Tatts?;) If you're in Tatts, Paul Ross and myself are there on the Tuesday and we'll find you and say hello! You might even dip your hand in the heaving satchel and sort us out with a bevvy:loon:tongue2:cheers
