took place on the sunny weekend of 9th May 2025 in our adopted town of Crewe in Cheshire
There was a good turnout on the Friday at the Chester Races
Where we pooled together for the last race and picked an anchor-faced horse.
A horse called Gibside won! and paid for a bottle of port for all the evening tables.

Followed by a dinner
