Placing bets on the races was more than brisk at Sutton Coldfield Catenian’s race night held at Moor Hall Hotel on Monday 11th October . Circle members and guests had the choice of placing bets on eight races all of which had been sponsored by circle members. The event was organised by circle member Steve Broom assisted by his family with video recorded races together with commentaries. There were also prizes and rosettes for the owners of all the horses which were again sponsored. There was much excitement as punters encouraged their chosen horses. Some did better than others.

An excellent night was enjoyed by all, with £810 being raised for Circle President Mark Mc Grail’s charity Lisieux House a local-based charity which supports adults with a learning disability and adults on the autism spectrum to live happy, enriched lives, full of opportunity and choice.
