- Breakfast
- Supper either in the House or at a local pub (not included in the price)

Who can come?
This is an open invitation but we have sent it to you because we know you-like you and are sure you will fit in well. You may have come on similar trips organised in previous years or this may be new to you.
Most of the people who want to come are involved in pensions but we have always had a lot of our friends and family coming along and this has worked really well.
We strive to have a great time and do everything possible to make this a fantastic, stress-free occasion!
How can I find out more?
Just get in touch with one of your hosts , our details are on Linkedin. Henry is the obvious first choice, he can be contacted at henry.h.tapper@googlemail.com or by phone on 07785 377768.
Costs
We are a not for profit group. All revenues raised will be ploughed into the week – your hosts will take no wages!
The cost of a full week Monday 15th to Sunday 21st will be £600 per person.
The cost of “the full racing package”= Arrive Monday evening, leave Saturday morning is £450 per person.
The cost of a single day package is £120 per person (one night at the house).
We can provide any other combination of nights and days racing on request.
What do we want you to do?
You should register your interest immediately by replying to henry.h.tapper@googlemail.com..or you can contact one of the other hosts if you know their details!
To guarantee your stay you need to send us money by TT or cheque to our bank account. We’ll give you all the details once you’ve contacted us and confirmed all the details you want.
You will recognise that this is a social function and not a business venture. Bill is a hugely respected banker (oxymoron?) and a professional trustee. We have priced the packages with a contingency for unexpected events. If by happy chance we have money left over at the end of the week we will either return the balance or roll it into the subsidy of another event later in the year.
Places are strictly limited. The maximum number we can have in the house on any one night is 18 and we will be allocating places on a first come first served basis with priority going to those coming for all four days.
Once we have received your cash we will confirm your stay and keep you regularly updated.
