TEN TO FOLLOW – NATIONAL HUNT SEASON 2014 /15 Ann Peart has established a very healthy early lead in the National Hunt Season Ten To Follow as shown in the table of leading scores below. We are now entering a very busy time for jump racing with high profile meetings at Kempton Park and Leopardstown over the Christmas holiday and Cheltenham on New Year’s Day so there will be plenty of point scoring opportunities in the weeks ahead and the pack is closely bunched behind. The scores will be updated on the Club’s website early in the new year and then updated periodically. The scores will also be published in each newsletter.

Details of the race will be published in the next newsletter Page 2 FORTHCOMING EVENTS CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL TRIALS MEETING AND VISIT TO RICHARD PHILLIPS’ ADLESTROP STABLES BY COACH – Saturday 24 January – Depart from Newbury Racecourse 8.00 am (prompt). ADVANCE BOOKING ESSENTIAL – MEMBERS GUESTS WELCOME (subject to space) An annual visit to the Cheltenham Festival Trials meeting coupled with a local stable visit has proved a popular event in previous years. This year we are visiting Richard Phillips at his stables at Adlestrop near Moreton-in-Marsh. The cost of coach travel, stable visit driver’s gratuity and racecourse admission is £43 per person. Cheltenham Racecourse members who do not require racecourse tickets pay a reduced charge of £23. As we cannot afford to run this event below the minimum economical number of bookings and to enable the advance purchase of racecourse tickets bookings must be made by no later than 12 January using the form on page 25 of this newsletter. If we do not receive the minimum number required the entire event will be cancelled. In the event of racing being abandoned the stable visit will go ahead and no refund will be made for the cost of coach travel. Refund of admission tickets will be in accordance with Cheltenham Racecourse’s published refund policy. ANNUAL TEAM QUIZ – 7.30 pm Tuesday, 10 February at Oaksey House, Lambourn. The 2015 renewal of our popular team quiz will take place on 10 February. We hope to field several West Berkshire Teams so if anyone wishes to take part please get in touch with Stewart Nash. The quiz is designed to have graduated questions and all teams will continue for all rounds. The quiz is being held at Oaksey House and we hope that there will be a good number of teams from the local racing community (AP McCoy was in a team last year!) as well as old established favourites returning. The proceeds from the evening will be donated to the Injured Jockeys Fund. Admission free - A cash bar will be in operation. CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL PREVIEW – WEDNESDAY, 4 MARCH – 8.00 pm at Newbury Racecourse March wouldn’t be March without our annual preview of the biggest jump race meeting of the year. We are still in the process of finalising our guest panel which will be announced on our website and in future newsletters as soon as possible. In the meantime make a note of the date and time in your diary. KINGSTON BLOUNT POINT TO POINT – Saturday, 7 March – First Race 1.00 pm The WBRC will again be amongst the sponsors for this meeting and a special discount car parking offer will appear in the next newsletter along with details of how to get there. As well as an exciting programme of seven races this meeting has in the last two years featured several horses that have gone onto win at the Hunter Chase evening at Cheltenham. With four races supported by National Series Sponsors in Bonhams, Subaru, Aga and Connolly’s Red Mills prospects are good for another great day. And remember Kingston Blount is also home of the point to point featured on Downton Abbey. Royal Ascot Picnic at Ascot Racecourse – Tuesday, 16 June – We are planning a Club picnic in the centre of the racecourse prior to the start of the first day’s racing at Royal Ascot which as always will commence with the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes – Terry Knight describes the proposed arrangements for the picnic on the next page. Page 3 Royal Ascot Picnic 2015 by Terry Knight We are proposing to have a club picnic on the first day of Royal Ascot 2015 – Tuesday, 16 June. This will be open to members and friends, but obviously something like this will require a fair bit of planning. I’ll try not to make it sound complicated, and perhaps the easiest way of explaining what we are proposing to do is to put it into paragraphs, so here goes: 1. Ascot are happy to provide us with badges for car park 8 at £25 per car. This car park is on the heath in the middle of the course, and the atmosphere here is said to be good for picnics and is also hopefully fairly near to the enclosures, depending on when we get there and where we manage to park up on the day. 2. If we are to go ahead with the picnic then we need at least 3 or 4 people to buy a car park badge in car park 8. Then those people can park their cars together and provide enough space for chairs, tables etc. Ascot allows plenty of space between the rows of cars for you to put up chairs, tables, gazebos and so forth. 3. If you want to join the picnic you can without parking your car in car park 8 (or indeed bring a car at all), but obviously we need enough car park spaces to occupy sufficient space to accommodate everyone who is likely to show up. 4. You don’t have to decide whether or not to attend the picnic now, but we do need enough people who are committed to buy car park badges now. If insufficient people are interested enough to buy a car park badge in car park 8 then we won’t proceed with the picnic. 5. The picnic will most likely be a case of bringing your own food and drink but we can decide the actual arrangements nearer the time once we confirm that we have sufficient interest to proceed. 6. Everyone can make their own arrangements for buying admission tickets to the racecourse enclosure of their choice. It is not really viable for the club to buy tickets and there is a relatively small discount for group bookings. Tuesday is usually the quietest day and sometimes you can obtain a decent discount on tickets nearer to the event. 7. The good thing about a picnic is that you can leave the table and chairs out when you go off to the enclosures and you can come back whenever you want to and start up the picnic again.

  • Bulletin Book Extracts
    Bulletin Book Extracts Continuity with the Dark Horses Annual … In my Dark Horses Guide I made out a case for Nichols Canyon, now the winner of seven of his 10 starts over hurdles. A genuine and classy performer for John Gosden on the Flat, with two Listed victories and a Group 3 placing to his name, he landed four Grade 1 races as a novice last season without getting the credit he deserved. This season he became the first horse to beat Faugheen, where the close proximity of Wicklow Brave in third suggests the favourite underperformed, before winning his sixth Grade 1 race when beating Identity Thief in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Nichols Canyon ran the worst race of his career just under a month later when he trailed home 28 lengths third to Faugheen and Arctic Fire in the Irish Champion Hurdle, possibly feeling the effects of his tussle with Identity Thief in the heavy ground. Nichols Canyon’s greatest asset is his tenacity. He is not the sort of horse ever to win on the bridle, but he handles any ground and has strong winning form over two and a half miles – always an asset in the Champion Hurdle. Willie Mullins says the horse reminds him of Hurricane Fly – a great compliment - and there is a case for saying he has the best overall form in the race, even though the ratings suggest otherwise. Strong Opinions … I have no doubt that My Tent Or Yours is one of the most talented horses Nicky Henderson has ever trained.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
