Firstly, the event was sold out, which is a huge plus and those present were greeted with a glass of something cold and bubbly, a Champagne tent, an afternoon tea and a raffle.

It was a great opportunity for the fairer sex to enjoy some hospitality whilst the 1st team were playing.

After the game, the Race Night took over and a wonderful evening ensued, expertly ran as ever and everyone enjoyed it.

Overall the day raised just shy of £1,000 to Cancer Research, which for an ad hoc day, dreamt up over a beer in January was a wonderful achievement.

Huge thanks to Steve Gale for his tireless work re the Ladies Day, Tommy Festa for the Race Night and all bar staff for their hard work over the day, as well as all those who helped and created a wonderful event for one and all.
