Don’t forget the New Year’s Day Grand Prix! A great way to start the new year as you mean to go on. Start time is 10.45am prompt from Centurion Golf Club in Wallsend, so plenty of time to sleep off your hangover! Junior race starts at 10.30am.

Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

 

Silver hair retains the silverware! ?

The final Grand Prix race of 2019 was signed off in fine style tonight with our Doug Bramley Trophy up for grabs.

There was no clear favourite after the handicaps had been vetted numerous times (not doing the handicappers already poor reputation any favours).

It was going to take a breakout performance to win and my oh my did we get it….
