Grand National Meet

Grand National Meet - 11th-15th April 2012

The following are a selection of photos taken by Les French and myself.

We shouldn't laugh really, at least Julie-Anne made it to site - that's her dad Martin
and helpers pushing her the rest of the way!!!

Our very own Grand National course waiting for the runners to line up. Many thanks
to Peter for all his hard work making this brilliant game for us.

The start of our own Grand National - the runners and horses doing their lap of honour.

Stuart made a great racing commentator and is booked again for next year.

......and first past the winning post was Silver Birch

Special thanks must go to Geoff and Val Burnham, long standing members, for bringing
along two tellies and giant aerial for us to watch the race in the comfort of our marquee.

                             Setting everything up. Notice the first aid kit next to the telly ready for the horses and riders
                              incase we had any accidents - infact later on in the day, after the race, poor Red Rum fell
                              and suffered a broken neck.

Waiting for the big race to start.

A frosty start to a glorious Sunday on site

I won the competition for anyone who spotted Neil without a drink in his hand :-))
(The fact Steve's holding it has nothing to do with me - really!!!!!!!!)
