ayr seems the best choice to us sounds like a good place

how far is the storage place ???

 

[Fleesh]

Hope it all comes off, sounds like a good weekend at Ayr especially with the charity involvement. Sadly I wouldn't be able to attend as it's far to long a drive to come up Saturday morning, sleep in the car overnight and drive home again Sunday night then be up for Uni at 5am on Monday.

£5.00 a night sounds like a BARGAIN to me

The Woodroad Regeneration Forum asked me 2 weeks ago if I could put whippet racing on at their Homecoming Funday on the 11th of April. As the NNWRF event was on the same weekend I told them that I didn't think I could get enough dogs. When I found out Witton Castle was no longer on I phoned Denise with the offer of East Ayrshire as a venue.I have had a meeting with the Forum and contacted the caravan site and this is what is on offer.

Caravan site- Live band on Sat night.

Disco Kareoke Sun night

Sat Funday- BBC's Pudsey Bear to open event.

Catrine House Farm with animals where the children can make their own ice cream.

DJ who will house a talent contest and an Easter Bonnet Parade.

All children attended will be given a free easter egg.

Welly Boot throwing competition.

Coconut Shie

Three legged race,sack race, egg and spoon race.

Beat the goalie.

Tree carving events.

Two hot food vans.

Beer Tent.

Fun Fair Rides.

Various stalls, including tombolas,brick a brack,bottle stalls,hand knitting,hot pancakes,guess the time the dog will wake.

Fire engine safety demo.

Police and First Aiders.

BOOKIE for Whippet Racing if required.

This is all to raise funds to regenerate Woodroad Park,which,in turn will help us with our track etc.

Is anybody interested?

Danny.

 

[stormy weathers]

I am Danny lol, would only be 3 an half hours for us, maybe bit extra with caravan.

Sounds like council pulling out all the stops, im sure the track will be in fab condition plus plenty space for spectating and parking which blidworth seems to lack.
