Race Night, Friday 12th November 2010


Following the enormous success of our last event in March, we will be having another Race Night on Friday 12th November 2010 in the school hall from 7 - 11pm.

Tickets cost £5 per head and are available now from the school office.

If you've never been to Race Night before, here is some more information -


Who is running the Race Night?
The event is being run by Auchinloch Parent Council to raise funds.  We are using Red Box Entertainment to ensure the night is a success.

How many races will there be on the night?
There will be 5 races with 8 horses in each race.  The races will be projected onto a big screen and we can bet on any horses in each race.

There will also be a camel race at the end.  There will be an auction, and each table can put money together to own a camel in that race.  If your camel wins the race your table will receive half the money raised during the camel race, and the other half will go towards Auchinloch Parent Council funds.

Are races sponsored?
The 5 races have all been sponsored, and a donation of £20 collected from each sponsor.  The money collected will be used to purchase a prize for the winning horse of each race.

Can I buy a horse?
Horses for each race can be purchased for £2.50.  There is no limit to the number of horses you can purchase.  The owner of the winning horse in each race wins the sponsor's prize.

Will there be more fundraising activities on the night?
There will be a number of other fundraising activities on the night.  These will include:

  • Write your name on £1.00.  The winner will receive half the money collected.
  • Guess the celebrity from the picture.
  • Many more...


Please remember that this is a bring your own food and bottle event and that no children will be allowed because alcohol will be consumed on the premises.
