Light Hearted info
Saturday 29th July saw Charlestown Ltd at the York Summer
Race Meeting. The weather was good, the company was good but luck with
the horses was not! However, everybody did enjoy the day and
an evening with
a few drinks.
"The bookies packed up and left early that day, their moneybags full
to bursting after the visit of the Charlestown team..."
Our next issue of “Connected” will be out in December, which will be
packed with news, views and events, as always!
