Smithy - you mentioned you were looking to get some venue for accommodation identified for the Fever, any luck on that yet?
We are really struggling for chch accom. Nobody gives a shit about us because it's Cup and Show week (whatever the f**k that is)...
2000 Guineas Race Day at Riccarton on the Saturday, Urban Obstacle Course 5km team and individual fun event on Sunday (hungover YF team entry??), Canterbury A+P Show the following Wednesday thru Friday and trots at Addington or gallops at Riccarton during the week.
And some fuhfuhfashion and greyhounds thrown in for a laugh
