    Hello racing fans and fanettes,

    The first ever meeting of the Dublin Racing Club will take place on Thursday 27th October at 7.30pm. The venue will be upstairs in the Boars Head, Capel Street.

    Everyone is welcome, membership of the club is free, and there will be prizes (and surprises) on the night. The idea of the club is basically to allow racing followers of all levels of interest get together, have a bit of fun, and hopefully learn something along the way. If you’re a complete novice or an established campaigner, this is the club for you.

    The first meeting promises to be fun, interesting and insightful. The informal programme for the night is as follows:

    7.30pm Panel discussion featuring:
    Damien McElroy (former racing correspondent for the Irish Independent)
    Jessica Lamb (reporter with the Irish Racing Post)
    David Jennings (spotlight writer and race analyst with the Irish Racing Post)

    8.15pm Guest Speaker – Noel Hayes, Head of Sportsbook, Boylesports

    (There will be plenty of opportunity for Q&A in both these sessions)

    8.35pm – we’ll have some great prizes and info on further meetings to wrap things up. Times will be flexible but the whole thing will be over around 9pm, with a few hours left until closing!

    And yes, there will be free finger food!

    I'm obviously biased as an organiser but I would say it was a great success. Around 45 showed up and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. Damien McElroy was described to me afterwards as a 'National Treasure'.

    The employers of the aforementioned odds compiler presented us with a cheque to help get the club off the ground. A very nice and generous gesture. And he certainly was not spared with the line of questioning!

    The next night most likely be the last Thursday of November. I'll post details well in advance but it will be a city centre location again.

    Nothing wrong in being biased or happy if things go the way you wanted it to.

    Well, thanks for the reply and keep me posted, I would love to come down and have a look next time.
