Title: Grand National Sweepstake 2016
Post by: Highlander on March 13, 2016, 20:07:29 PM
As I said last year (and probably the year before that  :)) it's hard to believe but it's this time of the year again.

We have managed to have some fun with this for the last four years now so I thought we could do the same again this year.

For new members the way it works is that I will allocate each of the 40 runners with a number randomly.

Members who want to participate simply pick the number(s) between 1 and 40 they want. I then publish the list of the runners and the CBF member whose number corresponds to them just before the race.

The price of a horse this year is £ 5.00 (unless you want to make it something different ) and the winner will receive a prize to the value of £ 20.00.

It's not too early to pick your number - so book early to avoid disappointment.

Please help the children if you can.
   :)

Here is the list showing which horse you have been allocated.

The favourites are:  :)

Dizzy jan with Many Clouds at 8/1
Spo6666 with The Last Samuri at 10/1 and
Lotty with Silviniaco Conti

The outsiders (unfortunately) are: :(

Steveb1 who has Aachen 100/1
Jim fraser who drew Home Farm also at 100/1 and
Phil5252 who has Ballycasey who is quoted at 80/1

Given that the Masters from Augusta starts today faymoore’s Just a Par might be worth a punt.

Good luck everyone  :)

Congratulations Badger and a big thank you for donating your winnings back to a great Charity and thanks once again to John for running this sweepstake.
I see Ryan Air are always winners.

Just back from corporate hospitality at the genuinely magnificent Ross County FC so just catching up.

Congratulations to badger (co-incidently one of our very good friends).

Absolutely no surprise that he donated back the prize.

Thank you badger.    :)

More later when my eyes are focusing a little better.

Not a great performance badger but a top six finish nonetheless and a  league cup win.

Rachel will have a huge smile on her face tonight.    :)

I am delighted to let you know that you, the wonderful members of the CBF, have come up trumps yet again and have raised well over the amount planned.

I will have the greatest of pleasure in transferring £ 335 to the charity and with the £ 35.00 donated in Calis that makes a total of £ 370.00.

Thank you so much to all who took part.

Your donations will make a difference to kids who have so very little.
