Now we have Christmas and New year out of the way I always look forward to getting in early bookings for the up and coming sporting events of 2013! Especially the horse racing events as I have a bit of a passion for Horse Racing and definitely don’t mind taking clients to these events!! Of course the driver has to stay, it would be rude not to!
Here are my pick of the Horse Racing Calender coming up:
12 March 2013 to 15 March 2013
The National Hunt Festival has become firmly established as the first major event of the year in the Corporate Hospitality programme and this year sees the seventh 4 day Festival, when jumping enthusiasts will be provided with 27 of the most prestigious races in the National Hunt calendar.
This includes on the 15th March the Cheltenham for the Gold Cup – an absolute must see race! Luckily I already have bookings!!
