Glad you are all back safe and sound (well just about!) and hope you had a good time. Weekend sound like good VFM to me and should keep you going until PQ in April, race in June and the Classic in July.
Smokie where is that Piano Bar? I think I went into it once but we were thrown out when one of our lot played piano like Les Dawson when the real pianist went for a pee. No sense of humour, some folk. And what is this off licence thing? Sounds strange, but trust the food was edible.
Finally, in your opinion, should they repeat the exercise next year? And what are the prospects for the race series?
