    Evening all,

    Just gauging interest on who'd be up for a day at the races at the end of November. There's some very good NH racing at Fairyhouse with 3 Grade 1's on the Sunday of the meeting. It's on the 28th of November and it should be a top day at the races.

    (Click for info)

    Sunday's probably not the best day with work and college being on the next day but it's the worth taking a day off for this!

    We could head back into the City for a night out on the town also, for anyone who's interested in that too.

    So, who'd be up for it?

    What will you do? (Public Poll) 8 votes

    I'll go to the Racing but not out on a session!

    Im wait and see as well. The logistics of getting up there/staying over etc could pose a problem. But if I do make it a session will definately be on the cards.

    One disadvantage of working in a shop with only 4 employees, taking into account the manager doesn't work on Sundays, the assistant manager tries not to work Sundays and that 2 employees need to work weekend shifts.:mad:
