Left mine at 9ish and travelled up to Yapton where we did a bit of shooting (MP5, Lee Enfield, G22 and a WW2 Mauser), a quick jaunt over to Fontwell where we were escorted to our box. Many, many beers and vino consumed and a very pleasent four course meal eaten, I then proceeded to try and access all the tips left on these boards but wifi was blocked for some reason. I ended up having one winner all day. In fact I won more money going heads or tails with some bloke at the Tote for a tenner a go! Our party had varying luck with one 500 down and one a couple of hundred up.

Overall a cracking day and suffice to say I was trollied come the end of it.

Sounds like a good'n, but then I've yet to have a bad day when the beer and food has been gratis

Never done a day at the races - all I know who have reckon it's ace..

Mate of mine has some sort of season ticket jobbie at Newbury - keeps asking me to go along. Worth doing ?

Pents - You sound like Oscar Pistorious with that gun stuff.

Papa - Newbury is my local course (even more so now we've moved) and is a top notch place. I prefer the winter jumps meetings to the summer flat as they're less crowded and less full of youngsters on the lash. But then I'm into my Racing, if you want to just go and have a good laugh, the summer evening meetings are good value. They often put bands on after the Racing too.

Can certainly recommend Ascot, they put on a good deal of entertainment behind the stands, plenty of eye candy and yet to ever leave standing, a darn good laugh for a boys day out.

I haven't got a South African accent Mart.

As Joff says, it's a cracking day out for both the lads or the lasses.

I'm off to Goodwood on a staggy in a few months time in a box, I'm quite looking forward to it.

Wouldn't it be more comfortable in a car rather than travelling with the horses?

[Pentridge]

I think we're going in a coach tbf.
