Minutes from last Meeting

The minutes of the April Meeting have not been issued to date.

Review of Player of the Year/Race night.

Raising the price of sponsoring horses(£5 to £10) & reducing the price of sponsoring a race (£25 to £20) didn’t affect the take up of the horses/races.

Agreed to continue with the same prices next year

Agreed last Saturday home game preferred

Idea of an additional race night (or variation) was agreed in principle possibly November.

Made £1400 profit (less £66 unpaid)
