I'm going to my first point to point event next week

not one response

Hello mate.
I've been point to point and don't think I would bother again to be honest.
Cost us 20 quid each to see a few races with about 4 or 5 runners and pretty much odds on favs in every race.all the same distance as well. I think 3m if I recall correctly.
If it rained you would be well stuffed as no facilities....well apart from a portable toilet and a tea/burger van.

Cheers Buddelieau you have whetted my appetite now

Glad to be of help my friend!! You never know it might be a lot better that one at oxford.anyway always worth trying things out for oneself I reckon.....,one mans meat and all that!!!

advice will do I don't want your meat ffs.

Is that at Lockinge Howdi?

It's a cracking course. On a dry day point to point is the best days racing you can go to.

Obviously not grade 1 racing, but get the boot open, picnic out and plenty of drink.

Get up nice and close and be a part of grass root racing.

thats right brandy your welcome to join me as the mrs has bottled it.

Did the South Dalton one for a few years always a good drink to be had.

seems boozing plays a part in the day

Sorry Howdi,I forgot,I can't compete with Steve and Eddy!!

If anyone could its you pal

I moved to scotland 18 months ago so it's a fair ol drive down to sunny Oxfordshire. Shame the "wife" didn't fancy it.

There are always uni girls about at points to please the eye.

Uni girls???

Calm down Brandy!!

I think my uni girls days are well behind me.
