OSA RACE NIGHT – Saturday 30th March 2019

Preparations for the upcoming Race Night are in full swing and it promises to be a blast! You need to book as soon as possible!

The OSA relies on the support of all parents and friends of the School to raise much needed funds for all of our children. Please do what you can to support this event.

 The fun-filled evening will take place in the main hall and the bar will be set up in the dining room (i.e. same set-up as the Quizzes).

 Tables can be booked for any size groups.

 8 pre-recorded races will be shown on a big screen throughout the evening. ‘Bets’ are placed prior to each race. The result of each race is not known until the race is broadcast on the night. The 1st Race will be run at 7.30pm and we aim to be finished by 10.30pm.

 Each race is sponsored by a parent or friend of the School or a local company *

 Attendees and non-attendees are encouraged to ‘buy’ and name a horse (for £5**) to support the event. All horse owners names will be displayed on the race card which will be given to all attendees. Winning horse owners win a prize.

 A Fish and Chips supper will be provided ***

 Please go to www.buytickets.at/theosa to book your tickets and buy your horses!

 Thank you for your support and good luck!

*There are still some races that have not yet been sponsored, so if you are able to sponsor a race then please contact events@theosa.gov.uk.

You will be welcome to promote your company or simply sponsor a race yourself. Race sponsors’ details will appear on all race cards and will be announced prior to each race. All that we ask is that you provide a prize for the owner of the horse that wins your race.

** Non-attendees are asked to donate £10 if they wish to buy a horse.
*** If you have specific dietary requirements, please make this clear on your booking form.

Venue for the Event is Dame Alice Owen’s School, Dugdale Lane, Potters Bar, EN6 2UD (Main Hall)
