Race Night

Sat, Jan 30th 2016 at 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Our annual Race Night at Parkside Hall, Ampthill. Bring the family!


Our Annual Race Night got off to a great start and there were plenty of winners at the end of the evening!

A big thank you to everyone who generously sponsored a race and to those who donated raffle prizes - and of course to all who joined in the fun. Who would have thought that Nathan's Nag would romp in to win the first race (Mayhead's Mayhem) or that Nobbled Rotary could possibly win anything in the Bedford & Ampthill Notary Stakes. However, High Achiever winning Race 5, Milway's Mares was no surprise.

The biggest winner of the evening  of course was our Rotary charities with over £900 raised to go towards our good causes - Keech Hospice, flood victims in the North and other Rotary charities.
