Dee has negotiated discounts on various race days at Exeter and Newton Abbot so whether you prefer Jumps or Flat racing you have the choice of either ... or both.

Newton Abbot finalised their fixture list for this year. Their charge for the hospitality package has gone up to £95pp, but they will honour the price I've negotiated at £40pp for u3a members on 28th October.

We'll have the use of a large room with balconies overlooking the finish post. Our package includes admission to the Paddock enclosure, a small finger buffet and unlimited tea/coffee followed by cream teas in the afternoon.

So far there are 91 members coming along and still places available if you'd like to join us. There's a £10 non-refundable deposit, the balance payable at the end of September.
