...fancy a flutter?! Well then why not come along to Peartree's latest fundraiser ...

Variety being the spice of life, we thought we'd change it up a bit and this time are hosting a Race Night.

Time and Place Date: Friday, November 21, 2008
Time: 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Location: Murrayfield Wanderers Clubhouse
Street: 112 Roseburn Street
City/Town: Edinburgh, United Kingdom

It's all for a good cause. We're raising money for Peartree IT’s current project to equip and staff PC training facilities in rural community schools in Ghana. Thanks to your previous support (quiz nights, raffles, tombolas etc!) the first centre is already up and running in Baworo village and more than 120 students are now benefiting by learning new IT skills. This important project will help local young people to find employment and avoid ending up on the streets of Ghana's cities.



Tickets are £3. The night will include a variety of entertainments - most importantly of course the races themselves! There are 8 pre-recorded races, each with 8 horses. Everyone bets on the horses and you'll get money if you back a winner! You can buy and name a horse as well for £5 and if your horse wins, you will also get a prize! If you are feeling particularly flush you can even sponsor and name a race for £25! Horses, owners and races will all be detailed in our special Racing Programme available on the night.
