HOW DOES IT WORK?
We bring all the fun of the races to your venue in the form of several films that are projected on to our big screen Our professional organiser / projectionist then instructs your guests how they can have a flutter on our tote system the proceeds of which are paid out as prize money to the lucky winners less of course a percentage which goes to your Club or Charity.
This is only one of the ways that money is generated for your cause throughout the evening.

HOW TO ORGANISE A RACENIGHT EVENT
Produce admission tickets for the Race Night
Sell the admission tickets in advance
Include some sort of food in the price on which you can make a profit
Get each race sponsored by a local company. We suggest around £20 per race and print their name in the race program. Our compere will promote their business on the night.
We provide forms in our free race pack to help with this.
Sell Owners and Jockeys (suggest £3 per Owner, £2 per Jockey)
We provide forms in our free race pack to help with this.
Each winning Owner (8) and Jockey (8) will require prizes
Approach extra sponsors for these prizes. Their value should be around £12 and £8 respectively. If you can’t get enough prize donations then you pay out the prizes in cash but this reduces your profit!
Have other attractions during the evening e.g. quiz, Supper, Disco etc.
It all adds to the fun!
Our compere will guide your guests through the tote betting on the evening and brings all the necessary equipment.
It is very useful if you can supply a couple of volunteers to help with the payouts.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Make sure you sell Horses, Jockeys and Sponsorship before the night. Selling them on the night is not a good exercise as it takes money out of Punters pockets that they would have to spend on the night.
Do as much as you can before the night to raise funds and let the money raised on the night be extra profit.
Betting tickets must only be sold to or by persons over 16 years of age.
