After reading about the flutter that'll be going on at ESC HQ, it got me thinking of a different kind of flutter.

Does anyone fancy a day at the races or a night at the dogs? Normally a good laugh for not a lot of money. Unless you really like your betting that is

Let me know if you're interested and i'll look into packages for both and come back with some prices. Should be able to sort something out that includes some grub and a beverage or 2.

Never been Horse racing, but a night at the dogs is a good night out.

There is a dog track here in Harlow - not been to it myself, but heard from others that it is OK if that's of interest?

I had a chat a while ago with Tiny about doing a night at the dogs, I was going to put a thread up soon, but you have beat me to it, which isn't a bad thing, cos I am so busy at the moment with baby and work. Well done Matt look forward to putting my name down when you get a date.................by the way Phil and Tiny said to me that Romford isn't fantastic, there is another one better than that but I can't remember what it is called but I am sure Phil or Tiny will let you know if need be.

Right guys n gals:

Walthamstow dogs any saturday in may is the earliest we can get, due to numbers: £19. includes admission, 3 course meal and race card. Parking iirc is £1. The carpark is manned all evening and i've always been happy to leave my car there.

We need to be quick or we'll be looking at later on in the year.

looking at the events calendar, June may be a better bet (pardon the pun).

Phil

The Meal package isn't bad

But I think IMHO just going there is a great laugh and doesn't take as much time to organise and is a lot cheaper

The food counters are pretty good and resonable

Will go with the flow though

V4JDMSTi

Agreed Phil. Was there the other week. Great night out just to turn up and have a flutter. Will go with the flow as well.

SirFozzalot

Have been to Walthamstow with the meal and without, I thought the night without the meal was better and easier. Sitting and eating got in the way IMO.

without the mean IMO, more time for watching the dogs and getting the bevvies

I dont think i will drive to this if i go

I worked at Walthamstow when I was a boy

Without a sitdown meal is much better-

They do scampi in a basket and chips/ burgers etc

Plus if the weather's good you wanna be outside.

Just my two-pence

Had a look at the events list and March seems to have a couple of Saturday nights free. 10th or 17th. Any good for everyone?

Tiny

Matt

Both the 10th & 17th are good with us here mate

Maybe best to set a date & start a new thread Esc going to the dogs

And add everyones name who has posted an interest
