I most certainly will steveb1. Thank you.

It will be of no surprise to anyone that you would donate your prize but that does not diminish from the splendour of the gesture.   :)  :)  :)

To rap things up then....

Congratulations again to steveb1 but the real winners are of course the children.

The mathematicians amongst you will have worked out that at £ 7.00 per horse and 40 runners you will have raised £ 280.00. But you need to factor in the generosity of CBF members which continually astounds me. The total you have raised is in fact £ 342.00 !

It would be remiss of me of course not to thank scunner for providing the platform for this event.

In passing, may I just observe that on this particular occasion and despite support from the usual participants I failed to persuade enough “members” to fill a list of 40, that 10 % of the numbers were taken by member’s spouses and that in the end I had to rely on two members “mopping up” remaining numbers.  Ah well hey-ho.

On behalf of the kids a massive thank you to everyone who took part.
