Racing Fever Takes Over at RG

The first fundraising event of 2010 takes place on Friday 19th March at St Fagans Cricket Club when RG presenters and pundits will gather to have some fun at the races.  Tickets are available to RG members, friends, family and anyone else who’d like to come along and have some fun while at the same time supporting a good cause (For an extra £5 you can even become a racehorse owner for the evening!).  A part of the evening will also be dedicated to presenting the RG 2009 Awards.
