Craven Meeting testimonials:

“Chamber Newmarket Race Day was fantastic. I laughed a lot with some people I have met before, met some nice new people from Suffolk & Cambridge,

took an order from a new customer, won some race money & enjoyed very attentive hospitality. A1 Day.'

“I wanted to test this event to see if I could bring clients to the races. It was really fun, good food and drink, great atmosphere, lots of racing action. The tour of

the paddock was great too presented by the Jockey Club staff.”
