Yes, indeed. Looking over Gandalf's shoulders, how can I miss?

[Bill V.]

With the group, we will have. I expect my dad will be taking plenty of notes
He will at some point put it all together, and hit one of his superfectas

Bill, tell your Dad I look forward to seeing him again (and you too of course); and all the rest of you too.

Last minute addition. Just heard from Richie P. he and his wife Karen want to come Saturday and/or Sunday, depending on whether and where they can find a hotel room. Bill, he's really looking forward to seeing you and your Dad. it's been a long time. Remember the surprise breakfast?

Just updating the bookkeeping a week before hand! Some folks are coming for 1 day, some for all 3 days, so it's a bit hard to price exactly the cost per seat at the tables.

This year, the tickets INCLUDE General admission, which means you can watch the races from the grandstand area apron trackside (but does not include a seat trackside - buy that separately each day, if available). I have some reserved Clubhouse seats for Sunday and Monday (if anyone's still there) which I can share with the group on a rotating basis.

This means, in order to NOT pay separately at the gate for general admission in order to get to the Festival Tent inside to pick up your tickets for the day - while still outside, simply look for the Festival Tent next to the fence a short way to the right of the main gates on Union Avenue, and smile and wave at someone you recognize inside at the P&C tables (tables are right next the fence): could be me, Mum, Bill V, Charlie B. They can pass you your ticket through the fence! We'll try to be there from 11:30am each day setting up. Or -- pay the $5 General Admission your first day and then pick up your Festival Tent seat tickets for the rest of the weekend.

So, let's say seats at the P&C gathering each day in the Festival Tent are $20 per day and that includes general admission, plus also pizza and beer or soft drinks at our Friday night gathering at the NHPLAY offices.

NHPLAY's offices are located at 125 High Rock Avenue in downtown Saratoga. Look for signs to the cafeteria, now on the ground floor. We'll meet starting at 7:30 pm. General questions, discussion, schmoozing and handicapping of Saturday's races!

Here is a Google Map to find that location. Use the side door from the parking lot, adjacent to the big park.
