Towcester Races Thursday 19th June.

Club trip has been organised to Towcester Races for the last evening meet of the summer on Thursday 19th June.

Its free entry and should be a great evening with races and entertainment.

Depending on numbers we may be organising a mini bus from the club.

Need to know numbers asap. Which doesn't mean the usual let me know about 3 weeks too late that your interested like a number of people have done when I mentioned going to see a Test Match this summer......

First Race starts at 6:40

Need confirmed numbers before Sat evening.

Am i too late ???

No mate. There is a poster in the Clubhouse lobby on the pinboard where people need to put their names down.

I'll be up there tonight. Do you want me to put just you down or you and Karen down?

I was there in the afternoon so added me and my nurse .

Have to say , it was a very enjoyable evening last night at Towcester and also CONGRATULATIONS to Michelle, who scooped the £1000 first prize of the best dressed woman. Think Derv may have spent it already but WELL DONE anyway Michelle.

Sounded like a good night and from the photo Michelle does look pretty damn gorgeous... will hold back on the adjectives cus Derv is reading!

The nice thing is the way Derv tried to make her look good by turning up in a donkey jacket that even David Essex would have laughed his tits off at. For those who didn't witness it, despite having every colour of the spectrum represented somewhere, somehow none of them managed to match. The true seal of greatness to my mind, however, was the proud boast on the inside pocket "Made in West Germany". Even assuming Derv's jacket left the old Federal Republic to the sound of champagne corks popping as the Berlin wall crashed down on TV, that still means he bought it while Dallas was still on, I was still at Junior School and Alex Brown was just a glint in the milkmans eye. Still it is quite an achievement to be wearing an article of clothing made in a nation that no longer exsists. One wonders what other long extinct nations live on now only in the wardrobe of Dave Barlow. Are the much heralded skills of the tailors of East Prussia, once thought lost forever, still evidenced by a pair of Derv's trousers ?

I'm back, and its like I never went away

I was going to say "Tim Rice" rather than "David Essex", but I didn't want Scopes to ban me again.
