Chamber guests enjoy a day at the races

Chamber guests are winners all the way on race day

Aday at the races is always a sure bet for grand day out, and a Corporate Day at the Jockey Club owned National Hunt meeting at Market Rasen in May was enjoyed by some specially invited Chamber guests.

President Mike Whitehead said: “"Market Rasen Racecourse is very picturesque and situated in the heart of Lincolnshire. The food was excellent, as was the company.

“I am a big racing fan and am a member at Beverley and often attend the Cheltenham Festival, but this was the first time I have been invited to judge "the best turned out horse" at a meeting. It was a pleasure to present the winning jockey with his Cup and sponsor's presents.”

The Chamber’s Northern Lincolnshire Manager, Anne Tate, who organised the outing, was pleased everyone had a good time. “Our Chamber members thoroughly enjoyed their day at the races.

“The racing was of course marvellous and everyone enjoyed checking out the horses and having a flutter. To be invited into the parade ring to choose the best turned out horse, watch the race from the chairman’s box with a glass of champagne, and subsequently present the trophy was a great privilege for all the members involved.”
