RHSCL Annual Raceday at Sandown Park

Dear High School High Rollers,


Following a very successful dip in the water last year, I am delighted to announce that the first fully-fledged RHSCL Annual Race Day will take place at Sandown Park on Saturday June 17th.

The racecourse is situated on the outskirts of the pleasant Surrey town of Esher and it is easily accessible by road (A3/M25) or by rail. There are frequent services from Waterloo, Clapham Junction and Wimbledon and Esher Station is only ten minutes walk from the racecourse entrance.

There are a number of tempting discounts available for groups of more than 12 people. We could save 20% on a £23 ticket to the Premier Enclosure which offers panoramic views of the racecourse as well as easy access to the paddock. The price also includes a £5 food and drink voucher and a £2 reduction in the price of a placepot bet with the Tote. For the uninitiated, a placepot bet involves you in trying to find horses to finish first, second or third (and sometimes fourth) in each of the races. There are innumerable bars and restaurants where you can either spend your winnings or drown your sorrows and since Irish bookmakers, Paddy Power, are sponsoring the entire day's racing, no doubt there'll be plenty of Guinness available for thirsty punters. For full details of all that Sandown Park can offer, just log on to www.sandown.co.uk

It would be very helpful if you could indicate in a brief e-mail whether or not you'd be up for this event, especially with the Group discount in mind. Partners are, of course, very welcome-and don't forget the family. Children under 16 are admitted free if accompanied by an adult. And I shall once again be giving my exclusive guide to the form in each race. How can you resist?

I look forward to hearing from you whenever you have a quiet moment.

All the very best



Al Senter



PS June 17th does, of course, mark the end of the first week of the World Cup but I don't imagine that would interest many members of the RHSCL-for obvious reasons.
