Fat Jockey Patrons
Fat Jockey is a horse racing community focused on all the big races in the UK and Ireland. We don't charge users but if you have found the site useful then any support towards the running costs is appreciated. Become a Patron!
If members arent allowed to attend in October, November, December etc then they will be refunded for those dates being lost (if its down to Covid, not bad weather).
If that ends up being the case, the approx £100 will be refunded (incl New Years Day), so the membership cost would be approx what buying 4 day members tickets for the Festival would cost anyway - plus that would include racing on Trials Day, and April/May if any of that is of interest.
I'd only be going for the 4 days of the festival but at £430 it'd be money well spent and a gamble with taking, imo.
It might even be a better experience, no hassle getting a drink or a place in the stand.
I've just been on holiday and the airport experience is much better as there's nobody there
Very true, but I'm sure they'll find 20 random people off the street who have never poured a pint before... At the November meet last year, a bloke next to me ordered a Guinness and black (only ever acceptable as a hangover cure?) and was rewarded with a pint of Guinness and half a pint of neat blackcurrant

the thing that used to bug me was the time it took for you to get change from a round. Hopefully card only payments will speed that up.

I hope that was on purpose as punishment for ordering a cocktail.
I went to Ascot once for the meeting in late August.
And the Polish kid behind the bar was selling Pimms in Pint glasses for £4-50 a pop.
That was a fun afternoon.
Don't even like Pimms but took advantage of the generous servings, ended up playing Pool in a Bar near waterloo station with Brian Belo from Big Brother.
He was shit.

Did exactly the same at Royal Ascot one year. Me and my mates thought it was a good idea to have rounds of pints of Pimm's. Big mistake. Puked up after stepping out of the coach and shit myself on the stairs at home as I couldn't make it to the bog. The wife wasn't too happy. Never again.

Thats a classic post.
