Well! THAT was a night to remember!
Perhaps this is the perfect time to introduce Candida Hinks and her ‘Send Her Victorious’ accessory collection which will be proudly offered in the Pre-War Prescott Paddock. Her unique collection includes bags and hats, gentlemen’s waistcoats, overnight and laptop bags and cushions.
In fact, while we’re about it, let’s bedeck the Paddock in red, white and blue this year! Bring your Union Jacks, be creative, happy and glorious and let’s celebrate our sovereignty, independence and freedom, paid for so dearly and in living memory by a dwindling few. And please spread the word that ALL World War Two veterans and their families are very warmly invited to join us as VVIPs on the day completely free of charge. It’s the very least we can do!
In other news, entries continue to arrive and we STILL have climbs! If you have not yet entered, do consider doing so without delay because there will definitely be NO climbs left by the day. There is time to get tickets to you, as I have positioned a forward supply in Kent with Colin Lee. As soon as I see your entry, I will have Colin get your tickets away to you immediately. All tickets for entries already received should be arriving imminently with Colin and will be forwarded to you in the next few days. Please check then when they arrive and let me know if I screwed up your entry! And also please note a screw-up on the ticket covering letter! The pub for the Friday evening informal reception (to which everyone is warmly invited) will take place at the Royal Oak in GRETTON, not the Royal Oak in Gotherington – which you won’t be able to find, because it doesn’t exist! Tables are booked, I should have the new menu to share here shortly, and the Landlord is getting in barrels of Prescott ales specially for us!
Jayne and I fly from Seattle two weeks today, and we are REALLY looking forward to seeing you all three weeks tomorrow!
