- With the” bookies” sitting in anticipation of taking lots of money betting got under way. Punters had mixed fortune ,  there were some who managed to beat the bookie quite regularly with the cry “ it’s the bookies money I'm working with “ while others are still waiting for their horse to come in.

- The Club secretary  showed that being at the bookies table was no advantage, he picked all the donkeys to his dismay and the ridicule of his fellow bookies.
- The evening went well with a raffle at half time plus buffet. Examples of prizes were 3 cortland rods, 1 powerhead rod,  1 snowbee rod all going to very grateful recipients.
- Racing recommenced after the break and the stakes went up with some really catching the odds and beating the bookie. The racing got quite serious when the runners for the last race were auctioned off with bidding getting quite competitive , with family members and friends trying to outbid one another .
 
The evening was sponsored by Paul & Nancy from the Royal hotel Girvan, Ayrshire Race Night services provided the entertainment. The Committee would like to thank the Buzz pc , Fairbairn & McQuisten for sponsoring races & all who donated raffle prizes to make the evening a night to remember
