Huge thanks to Fundraising Coordinator Lesley Borthwick, who organised a Race Night & disco social event for all Club members, family & friends. The event was held at Newtongrange Star FC Social Club on Friday 14th June.
The night was a great success, with a very impressive amount raised for Club funds from Race & horse sponsors, bets, raffle tickets, & roll the coin. A great night was had by all who attended - thanks to everyone who supported the event.
