12 November 2021 - You can bet it's on........
Dear all,
If you listen closely, you may hear the sound of approaching horses, but be not concerned. It is not a band of American Indians circling the wagon train, because that - the Number 4 bus out of Sutton Poyntz – has not been active for a long time. The horses are actually training for the SP Society Horse Racing Night on Saturday 20 November in the Mission Hall. The race meeting starts at 7.30pm when it is rumoured that you will be issued with a local currency known as Ponds (there are 100 Reeds in 1 Pond) to place on the horse of your choice in a number of races shown on the giant ( or small, depending how easily impressed you are) in-house screen. The person with the most Ponds at the end of the night will be awarded the SPPSoHA* trophy. There are just six tickets left at £10 each which includes a portion of fish and chips from Stracey's. These can be obtained from Sue Smith (phone 07812 267 788 or at Talbothays, Puddledock Lane). SPAM held one of these events some time ago and it was great fun. I did not win on that occasion however I am assured that there will be no race fixing this time to deny a worthy winner the trophy. Contact Sue asap for your tickets.
Best regards
Chris
