As John won't be at next week's monthly meeting where I'd intended under AOB, to ask him to tell us of his latest achievement, I'd thought I'd post some details up here, rather than miss the opportunity to say, 'Well done John'.Not everyone follows racing results, and not everyone would know that J...

We came down the lane and needed a tricky u turn to go back up.This was more to warn others as a larger group wo...
I have looked on memory map and it seems you can buy 1.25k for £20 but it says only a years subscription.
