Here's wishing all a Happy New Year 2006!

Tentative schedule for January 2006

1st January, 2006: Race Track 12:30 am
After a late New Year’s Eve bringing in the year 2006 with a bang, we might not be very many for an early morning at the Botanics. Not to worry, we’ll reschedule the Botanics later in the month.
On 1st January, it’s Race Day at the Royal Calcutta Turf Club. Since one of our hashers June has a son in law who is a trainer we have an inside at the race track. We’ll spend a day in the sunshine racing back and forth between the paddocks and the betting counters. Exercise and entertainment guaranteed. And every chance of starting the New Year with a bit of good luck! Meet at 12:30 at the races. Lunch and drinks available there. No collection. You pay cash and enter.

7:30 a.m. 8th January, 2006 Statesman Vintage Car Rally

Meet Princep Monument 7:30 so we don’t get lost and I can hand everyone passes. Vintage Cars get flagged off at 8 am usually
