Footwear Friends at Newmarket Racing

A great day in great company at the UK's most famous racecourse

Our Newmarket Day has become a regular fixture in the diaries of so many Footwear Industry Companies and Individuals as a result of three years of supremely enjoyable experiences at the Headquarters of Racing.

Already half of the eighteen tables have been booked.

The success has been brought about by, firstly the unique atmosphere of the July course. Secondly, by the excellent location of the marquee - so close to winning lines, winners enclosure and paddock. Thirdly, the excellent food and service and, fourthly the fun of out competitions, raffles and input of racing experts.

All this, of course, spice with the happiest of atmospheres created when our Trade get together.

The Newmarket Authorities value our custom highly - because of the special natre of our Charity and because of our regular support of their effots.

Therefore, they have held their price at the same level 2006 - same again for 2010! That is £150 for individual seat and £1,500 for a table of ten.

We very much hope you will swell our numbers further by booking on the form attached - for either a table or for individual seats. Reference the latter, any number - male and female - Trade and non Trade - are most welcome and we will ensure you and your friends sit at a very happy table.

Please do not send payment with application. Full details - including invoice - will follow nearer the date.

If you are unable to be with us because of holidays or a prior commitment, we will be disappointed but will understand. In that case, would be kind enough to make a donation to Footwear Friends, the only Charity in the United Kingdom who care for those who have worked or do work in the Footwear Industry and have hit rotten times.

Thank you so much.
Yours sincerely,

Gordon Smart
(Past President)
