CHELTENHAM PREVIEW NIGHTS.

and so it begins

how many people work for paddy power who are called paddy power

There's only one Paddy Power.

Mines is Friday the 11th. More details to come ;)

hello abbott

ayr have a 2 day fixture that weekend have you considered doing yours there or is the catchment area to small ?

Morning Jimnast, have been asked a few times to do it there but Ive already built up a crowd of 100 and I doubt many of them would want to travel down to Ayr.
You working up there that weekend?

weather permitting i will be at ayr for 2 days.

Hi Abbot, how's things ?  Friday the 11th for the PN - February or March ?

Hi doogs things are going well. Friday the 11th and im hopefull that this years will be better than ever.
Doubt I'll make it down Jimnast as I will be busy on the Friday but will no doubt get you for a few drinks at Cheltenham.

Good stuff - Feb or March though ?  Both have Friday the 11th !!

LOL 11th of March that is!

Grand, even better that it's so close to the Festival this year

Can you put me down x2 to go ? and if ok I'll sort out bookking a hotel for the night, ta [;)]

No Probs doogs. Im still waiting for confirmation from the racecourse though I only emailed them friday but Im sure it will be same as last year. Im just sorting out panel memebers now but im hopfull of the best members from the last few years and poss a new one.
Hows this season been treating you all this stop start with the weather hasnt been great.

Good stuff, once you've confirmed everything is booked I'll sort out the hotel.
Thought last year was bad with the weather this has been awful   Bought into a syndicate at Lucinda's (Milnathort RC) but our boys hasn't run yet due to the weather.  Entered at Newcastle next week.
Looking forward to Chelters as usual, everything booked

Good stuff. Im got tickets but there was a mix up with the house that we get and we have missed out. Will have a new one sorted by Feb though Im ensured.
Me and a few of the guys got a bit of a horse with Ellison won once on the AW so far but been dissapointing overall. Should be hurdleing sometime soon as long as hes as good as marsh warbler ill be happy lol.

Too right you would

You still got my email or mobile number to get in touch ?

Should have bot, just popping out will check when i get back. If not ill stick a post up here.

Grand, laters [;)]

Hi doogs sorry Ive not been intouch. Cant find your details so they must be in my preview notebook which i think is up the loft.

Hold all hotels things are up in the air at the moment. I emailed the racecourse on Monday and I was very dissapointed with their reply. The sales manager stateing that they wish to charge me £250 to rent the room. I am a bit bewliderd by it all and pissed of to tell the truth.

So at the moment im looking into new venues close by.

All for £40

Abbott....any word on Venue/Date for Hamilton night ?

3132 Ive got nearly everything confirmed.

The date is friday the 11th of March and it will be held in the Almada Suite, Hamilton.
The venue is much better with a stage, more space, cheaper bar prices and a sound and PA system that is excellent.
Ive got most of the panel and phone interviews sorted and all things being well I will get everything on here tomorrow night at the
latest.

Royal Oak, Prestbury will take place on the Monday prior to the big 4 days.   So on 14th March we will have bookmaker PR Charlie McCann, Choc Thornton, Tom Scudamore, Tom Symonds (Asst to Nicky) and Paul Nolan tipping all the winners. Paul's attendance is subject to him having runners at the Festival but, at the moment, that's highly likely.
