Short Description
Race Nights are a great choice of evening or daytime entertainment that can be hired for a whole range of different occasions
Act Introduction
Race Nights are fantastic ways to raise money for a charity, your club or organisation or any other good cause. We supply up to date UK races on state of the art projection equipment, with a large screen and full PA system. We provide all the paperwork including race cards, tickets and betting slips. All you need to do is provide 4 volunteers to be the bookies for the night.
What to expect
Our Race night team will setup all the equipment including the big screen and sound system. You will need 4 volunteers to be the bookies for the night. We supply all the tickets, and betting slips etc...
How it works
The tote is opened and tickets sold by 4 of your volunteer bookmakers. There is no limit on the amount of tickets that may be purchased. A video is then selected at random and the race is run. The money collected is split between the fund raiser and the winners. Example: Race One: Example Horse 1 sells 10 tickets = £10.00 Horse 2: 8 tickets = £8.00 Horse 3: 16 tickets = £16.00 Horse 4: 4 tickets = £4.00 Horse 5: 15 tickets = £15.00 Horse 6: 6 tickets = £16.00 Horse 7: 20 tickets = £20.00 Horse 8: 15 tickets = £15.00 Total:£104.00 In the above example, the £104.00 is split 50/50. The fund-raiser would take £52.00 and the winning ticket holders would share £52.00. If horse 4 won this would be £52.00 split between 4 punters which equals £13.00 each. Sponsorship You can raise additional funds prior to your race night by selling the horses (and jockeys) and finding a sponsor for each race. Simply, approach your butcher, milkman or builder and offer them the opportunity to become a race sponsor, in return they get advertising in your race card and the compare will give all your sponsors maximum exposure over the microphone too. If each sponsor pays £20.00. This will raise £160.00. Pre Selling Before your event you can sell each horse for perhaps £2. With 64 horses, this amounts to £128. You then obtain eight prizes, to give to each winning owner as the owners prize. You do the same with the jockeys. By pre-selling you will be able to go into profit before the race night is held.
FAQ
Q: How long does setup take? A: We will arrive 1 hour before the start time to get setup.
Q: What are your space and power requirements? A: Our race night will need space for a big screen and projector and also space for dj system. You will also need a table setup for your volunteer bookmakers. The race nights require access to a power socket.
Q: Do you take requests? A: Yes any requests you have for the night just ask.
