26 October 2021 - Horses for courses
Dear all,
The sound of thundering hoofbeats will be heard around the Village from 7.30pm on Saturday 20 November, for that is the night that SP Society horse racing comes to the Mission Hall. You are cordially invited to attend for the miserly sum of £10 which will include a portion of fish and chips from Stracey's with all necessary condiments thrown in. You will be provided with “money” to bet on horses in each race via a battery of bookmakers selected for their mathematical competency. Events will then unfold before your very eyes on the giant laser display board – known more prosaically as a television screen – before you collect your considerable “winnings”. Master of Ceremonies Jez assures me that he has all the necessary equipment – make of that what you will – and promises complete impartiality. Tickets, cash with order, are available now from Sue Smith (phone 07812 267 788 or at Talbothays Puddledock Lane). Unfortunately I will be at my Gamblers Anonymous meeting that night, but don’t delay, contact Sue today. You could end up being crowned the SPPSoHA* in the next Newsbite.
Best regards
Chris
