RACE NIGHT for Vishi Jeet – Friday 28th June 7.15pm to Midnight
The Race Night is fast approaching and all is going well. All of the six races have been sponsored and Vishi's flights have been paid for as a consequence. Without this Race Night we would not be able to afford Vishi to come over so please continue to support the Race Night.
There have been a few questions about how the night will work so here goes. On the stage there will be a carpet that has the below grid painted on. There will be two big sponge dice. Both dice will be rolled at the same time, dice 1 will identify the horse to move and dice 2 how many spaces to move. To win, the horse must land exactly on the finish. There will be six races in total throughout the night.

How the betting will work.
The auctioning of the horses
Before each race, the MC (Pembo), will auction each of the six horses off to the crowd. Therefore get with your friends to form a syndicate to buy a horse in each race to win BIG. Once all horses have been bought each syndicate will send a person to ride the horse on the stage and the race will begin. If each horse gets auctioned for £50 there will be £300 in the race pot. KHCC will take half of that (£150) for funding the Vishi Jeet and the other half (150) will go to the syndicate that bought the winning horse – Bet big to win BIG.
Tote Betting on the races
After the six horses for the race have been auctioned there will be 5-10 minutes to go place £1 multiple bets on horses running at the Tote. Your entrance ticket entitles you to a one off free £5 bet on the first race, after that you can but tickets £1 tickets. For each £1 bet you will get a ticket for that horse. If your horse comes in first each ticket will have a payout amount announced by the MC and you can go and cash your ticket. The amount the winning tickets will be worth will vary depending on the winning horse's popularity. If you back a horse that did not get many £1 bets on it your winning ticket will be worth a lot, whereas if you back a horse that had lots of £1 bets the winning ticket value will be smaller.
What is still to be done:
Ticket Sales:
All senior playing members have been allocated three tickets each and your respective captains will be giving you them this weekend. You will be asked for £45 in return upfront and it is your responsibility to come yourself and sell two tickets (family, friends etc).
