Royal Ascot 2015

points were hard to come by on this final day of the Royal Ascot meeting. All six tipsters managed just one winner when four of them tipped Mahsoob. Anyway it was a good bit of fun and the Stewards had their quietest day. They were last soon standing in a queue at one of the bigger bookies waiting f...

Royal Ascot 2015

Aloft saved the pennies today for most but despite the brilliant racing it was hard to find winners unless you had been drinking Long Eaton's Finest all day. The man from the east of the region bagged up with no less than 16 points causing the Stewards to meet before tomorrows meeting gets under way...

Royal Ascot 2015

Day Three saw some brave selections but on this auspicious occasion Long Eaton's Finest took a day off from brewing and fishing to close the gap with Long time leader Mr V. With two full days left it is all still to play for and it could be an even closer finish than when Foinavon won the Grand Nati...

Well, Ladies Day has already got off to a shocking start for the Stewards so much so that Ken Dodd was seen buying half a shandy. They met early this morning following a written request by the Football Pundit (aka Dodge) that all the horses should run with top hats on. It was felt that this suggesti...

After two days there is no arguing with the Phenomenon that is Mr V. Whilst the Stewards are discussing his knowledge of horse racing he has scaled to the dizzy heights and now tops the Tipsters League with 25 points. He has a good lead too as Barrow Bill, The Football Pundit, Bill Yards and Tony F ...

Well, we are off, - a bit of a contentious day with the Stewards in full throttle. However it went reasonably smooth until Chief Steward Lester Piggot offered to buy a round of drinks. It had been quite a while since he was that side of the bar and alas he broke down when he was given the bill :surp...

Si, just tried Benwick Sports much to my disgust! Found the chap not very amicable. I got 'done' once by putting confidential bank numbers on the internet and as such it caused me all sorts of aggro and have always paid cash, PO or cheque since. Not with Benwick Sports you don't. As an angling juorn...

Anyone know of a shop in the Midlands or probably best mail order anywhere where I can get the two small sizes of original Tubertini Styx from, 4 x 8 and 4 x 10.

Only want these two small sizes. Don't need the complete sets.

I thank you :tiphat
