The Branch held its annual Newmarket Race event on a very hot 3 August. High-spirited Members met at the front of the car park adjacent to the racecourse and then enjoyed the food and drink provided by Barry Wells from Foodcare and Kevin Cowley from Tillery Valley. Once the food and drink had been consumed and everyone had had the opportunity to catch up and mingle with past and current Members, we all headed off for a flutter. Trevor Colcomb also made himself busy drumming up Members to enter the annual horse sweepstake, which was drawn at the end of the night.

After the races had finished, race-goers danced the night away to back-to-back classic Motown hits. Glittering costume changes, dazzling dance moves and outstanding musicianship made it an explosive concert experience. Our thanks got to Newmarket Nights for a fantastic event.
