The 32nd Anniversary Race Day
Ripon Racecourse Sunday 17th May- 11.45 am for 12.15pm start
Wooden Spoon Yorkshire cordially invites you and your guests to attend the 32nd Anniversary Race Day at Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse in the private comfort of the Rowels Boxes. As always, money raised will be helping change the lives of children and young people with disabilities or facing disadvantage in Yorkshire.
We are again accommodated in the prime box, seating a maximum of 100 guests, where the exclusive balcony provides elevated views of the action and atmosphere opposite the winning post. The box is accessible by lift. A Ripon Tote betting counter is nearby and a representative will also process bets at your table. In the Yorkshire calendar of events this occasion is particularly regarded as our Ladies Day. Fund raising is limited but fun, with both in-box entertainment and racing advice.
The ticket price of £108 is a minimum above costs and provides by tradition a quality three-course silver service lunch, afternoon cream tea and cakes, private cash bar with draught beer, reserved parking, Day Members Badge and a free race-card. Special dietary requirements can be arranged.
We are again grateful to the Ripon Racecourse Executive for accommodating two sponsored races on the card benefiting Wooden Spoon Yorkshire, and sincerely thank Paul Hammond of Hammond Associates, and Steven Brooke of Anglo Stainless Ltd. for their sponsorship of our two named charity races.
To avoid disappointment, please confirm your wish to attend and your numbers, if a party, by email to Richard Tully at richardtully5@gmail.com asap with minimum number by Wednesday 6th May 2026.
