Time: 11:30AM–5:30PM

Hello again,retirees.
I'm pleased to announce that arrangements have been made for a repeat of the annual Day at the Races at Hastings Racetrack. The "Marg Jones Stakes" (as it's known to SFURA members) will be run on August 13th, 2011 starting around noon. Details follow the body of this email below. Last year, 30 people attended this very entertaining event and I hope that we can entice similar numbers to attend this year.
Please note the August 8th deadline for response. I have an out-of-town holiday from July 30th to August 7th, so I need to have everything in place for my return on the 8th. If you plan on attending it would really help if you respond as soon as possible.
We're off and running, once again!
