OK guys date approaching.
DURING THE DAY Several of us are going to Sandown races that day, more are welcome. First race 12:55 Let me know if interested and we can all catch the same train down.... I guess I plan to catch the 10:53 am train – which will mean we arrive on course 1 hour before the first. (waterloo to Esher – take about 30 minutes) – happy to go to breakfast first in waterloo or Esher if people are interested. Last race 3:30 We will catch a train back casually after the last and arrive in London prior to 5PM EVENING Please gather at OXO brassiere 5PM onwards, there is a nice bar there, look for the large group of eclectic un-kept men. Dinner is booked for ‘28’ People 6PM, under “The Magician” and table needs to be returned by 8PM – so we can’t really be late. Link http://www.harveynichols.com/restaurants/oxo-tower-london Vegetarians and fish eater have been catered for. LATER I think we might head off to a casino (probably the Palms) – so we can gamble, talk and not be in some club where we can’t hear each other. MUCH LATER – well lets see who is left – but happy to book (to ensure we can get in) a club from anyone that is keen. OK if you need my number – email betfairprogs@gmail.com (The above details from The Magician). |

Guys,
Can anyone come along ? Where will you be drinking after the OXO meal ? -HF |

Update from the Magician;
Guys Less than week away – thought Sandown looks certain to be cancelled – so will not be going racing. Note: anyone is welcome, this in NOT invite only (so horseman come along) but I have to book places – a night mare in London, see details below Night will be as follows. OXO tower 5pm arrive at the Oxo tower brassiere Bar for drinks http://www.harveynichols.com/restaurants/oxo-tower-london 6pm sit for dinner ( currently booked for 28 people) but we will try and be felxable to fit any late comers, as some will cancel im sure 8pm Dinner ends – but we will continue to drink at the Bar until 9:30 Casino At roughly 9:30 we will leave Oxo and go to the Empire Casino in leister square. I know this is not the perfect place – but we can get in, group size not important, and plenty of chance to talk, drink and maybe bet. We are booked places for 25 people in the Icon Bar http://www.thecasinolsq.com/bars/the-icon-bar-and-terrace/ Later..... I’m flexible, so let me know what you might be looking for. If you need to reach me email, betfairprogs@gmail.com |

Will everyone have carnations in their top button hole ?
Dont fancy going up to someone in the OXO tower asking "Hi, are you Dr Who, a Pumkinslayer or a Drug fuelled gay bully boy ?" ? dont think Id get to the end of that name.... HF |

I'm afraid any chance of me making an appearance has now gone. I spent the whole of last week with sore bones and sweats and ended up with a chest infection. My breathing hasn't improved any since and even if it had by Saturday the weather and recycled flight air would hardly be ideal comeback conditions.

By:
That's a shame, Feck :(
We will corner you in Scotland at a summer racing festival. |
|
By:
I look forward to it Muqbil. Hope everything goes well for you. Have internal flights been unaffected so far?
|
|
By:
I am travelling by train this time, less hassle overall. Hopefully not affected by the snow, it's certainly not too bad here in Yorkshire.
|
|
By:
Actually scrub that last message! The East Coast service is in tatters at the moment with a reduced hourly service between Leeds & London.
Note for others who may be travelling by train, check your service details... |

It took me 6.5 hours just to get from London to Surrey yesterday!

ricky r sends his apologies.

By:
Is this still on with the weather etc i see most trains are stopped if people were coming that way
|
|
By:
There should be no reason for cancellation?
I am travelling from Leeds by train, a reduced service in operation but no probs. A significant rise in temperature due overnight should see a massive improvement in conditions too. |

Guys, if Sandown is off I will be a non runner. Graet shame, maybe a spring meet would be better?
