Whos going

I'm heading down on the Wednesday.  Entered this comp to see if I can land some tickets for the Tuesday as well

Into work to f@rt about for a couple of hours on Monday morning. It's either a dash up to Stratford or, more liely, a leisurely drive over the Cotswolds, stopping off for late lunch / early dinner at the Plough in Ford, right at the bottom of Jonjo O'Neil's gallops, then onto the hotel.

4 nights and all 4 days of utter bliss, win lose or draw!

Easy for me as I live here. My 28th successive meeting as an annual member. Not the greatest fan of the 4 day festival. Tuesday and Wednesday the best days IMO. I may go Thursday, maybe not. For the last few years I've gone to watch the Gold Cup then bailed out.

Fly down Monday
Staying 5 nights in a rented house about a ½ hour walk from the course
Fly back on Saturday

All four days again, enjoy the Wednesday the most. Staying in Worcester for the first time, going down Monday back on Saturday.

heading down monday, back Sat.

Heading down Monday, Royal Oak preview evening Mon night, racing Tue, Wed and Thur, heading home Thur night, Fri in the pub.
Gold Cup day was too painful last year

doogs - where's your flight back from on Sat ?

Im just going down for the one day this year (Tuesday). By far my favourite day of the festival and I go most years.
First one since Katchits Champion Hurdle so Im getting giddy already!!!

Down monday night, racing tues/wed/thurs in pub for fri races in order to get out of town before the rush.

Can't bl00dy wait, this week is going to drag....

Goth - 8am Birmingham to Aberdeen (Flybe)  Think this is the first time they've done a Saturday flight - we had to come back from Luton last year

Good god,just rang my b and b to clarify arrival time etc,and the guy asked if i was going racing at Cheltenham on the Monday! What have i let myself in for?

8am ?? after Gold Cup Friday, good luck with that one doogs !
I should be in The Grill for the Friday racing, then wherever, will probably be going to bed when you are getting up!

tues - wed for me ,,,cant wait,, making the most of the build up bcoz itll be over before we know it

Our original flight was at 10.55am then they changed it to 8am   Pain in the ass as we can't get a train to Birmingham in time for the flight so we've ordered a taxi to take us direct.
Enjoy the Grill [;)]

Just the thurs for me...first time since i did it on cheap as a stude in 1985

Going down Monday, and also going to Royal Oak preview night, then all four days, staying in a house in Bishop's Cleeve (about 30 minute stroll to course). Got seats up in the grandstand, with superb views all round the course, and with a bar that is generally not too busy . Not cheap overall, but worth it, as I don't like standing round a lot.

mon-sat :)

Im only going on the tuesday, although looking forward to it immensely. Have resturant tickets for the first time so hoping the food is good. Only 5 more days of anticipation after today.

I'll be there all four days :)

Just Gold Cup day, coming down on the train from Cumbria

Go down Monday - have Tues and Wed at course - drive back home Thurs a.m. and watch the rest in a pub in my town.

Used to go all three days in the past

What a start to a wonderfull 7 days.Im 30 something years young today and have finished work til a week on Monday and am just gearing up to setting off on Monday lunch armed with a barage of reading material (i can never help buying anything racing related with the word cheltenham in it) and some ante post bets which look reasonable and a few quid in the pocket.Happy days
