Haydock Saturday

We went to this meeting a few years back (when Kauto put himself on the deck), DO. Great day out.
 
My only problem is that I was really spoiled many years ago. I attended the Sprint Cup meeting three years in a row when Ladbrokes sponsored it and went on a Ladbrokes special package:

Car park chitty (never needed)
Bucks fizz reception
Guest speaker (eg Willie Carson, who was intelligible at the time)
Timeform card
Racing Post
4-course lunch with unlimited wine
Afternoon tea with (it seemed) unlimited sandwiches
Private bar and betting facilities

Year 1 - all for £17
Year 2 - £28
Year 3 - £38

I'd have happily paid £38 the first year for all that. It was utterly brilliant. So brilliant I took Mrs O for years 2 and 3 but it went up to £58 the next year, the £78, (by then I think Ladbrokes had pulled out of the sponsorship), then way over £100, which was way too prohibitive for two of us.

But I'll never forget those three years. Fantastic deals.
