PTT Race Day

Been a bit of talk around lately about the forum being quiet and a lot of interest has dropped off.
I've only been around here for about 18 month but in that time I've obviously seen that a lot of you guys on here are passionate about your racing and do still enjoy it despite some of the problems surrounding it at the moment.
I'm guessing it's been done before but having never been involved I think perhaps a PTT get together is in order?
I was thinking maybe Karrakatta or WATC day? I gave up my membership this year but one of those tables on the lawn would suit nicely. I'm happy to head down early to secure one if we get enough interest. Doesn't need to be a main race day, if everyone would rather a standard race day then why not. Open to suggestions from everyone?
A drink, punt and some good conversation about the races and general chit chat could spark some life back into PTT :-bd

Post of the year Jell
Count me in, Have been thinking of doing this myself, To me a regular Saturday would be best. Then the high rollers of the site, In Hash, Tivers and Rio will be able to join us.
Karrakatta and Derby days, these Lads will more than likely have runners in these events and will not be able to join us.

High rollers? Leave me out of that category... I’m still clipping coupons and 2 for 1 vouchers out of the women’s weekly.
Ones a mad punter, one enjoys a drink and the other lives out bush but I’m sure any excuse to travel into the big smoke will see him attend... get all 3 at the same venue on the drink and you’ll have memories and stories to share for years to come

We don't need a top tier race to attend [-X being the racing purist we are, we love each race equally as much ;))
These are the next regular Saturday (except Good Friday) race meets:
February 17
February 24 (Chinese New Year Raceday)
March 3 (Challenge Stakes)
March 10 (Lex Piper Stakes and Cyril Flower)
March 17 (St Patrick's Day)
March 24 (JC Roberts Stakes)
March 30 (Good Friday)
March 31 (Natasha Stakes & Grandstand Cup)
I can personally make any of those dates but everyone's circumstances are obviously different. Thoughts everyone?

Let’s make it Chinese New Year race day (24 Feb). Gives everyone enough time to get their affairs in order eg. Selling household items for a bankroll :-bd

I’ll leave that one up to you boys to discuss.
I don’t take the missus to the track anymore. I get in trouble for ignoring her since I’m too busy doing form and punting ;))

Last time I took the lady to the races , I owned a % of the favourite in one of the early races we were standing in that owners bar in the stand at ascot, back when they gave you a free beer with your mounting yard pass to use up there. As the horses came down into the mounting yard she said to me that one looks lovely I am going to have my $5 on it . I am a superstitious person and upon hearing that I don't think we have been to the races together since. At least not when I have had one running

It was a stock answer from me - 'yeah good, broke even'. Love her =((

Exactly the same in my household, i'll chuck her a couple of hundred, buy Chinese for tea. Then sneak out and hide the rest in the shed account
