The night was held at the home of Steve and Jane Hardacre and was a "sell out".

 With Michael Blair in charge of proceedings a great night was guaranteed.

The first race kicked off at 7.30pm and with wagers placed on this and each successive race with a short break for a delicious  supper it was agreed that this was a super night.

With tickets at £10 to include the 1st drink and supper and options to sponsor a race or purchase a horse it was also a good value for money night and most importantly a good "fun night"

Perhaps to everyone's amazement, once the dust had settled, Steve and Jane declared that they could make a donation of, the proceeds of the night, of approximately £2000 to Heartbeat, North West Cardiac Care.
