The Ladies Luncheon Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month and is very en- joyable. We have 30 members and a waiting list, number restricted because of the amount — that small country pubs can cater for.

Those who do not drive are picked up by those who do. Horse racing meetings are held on one or more courses every day but Sundays and Christmas Day in Britain; Nick attends all meetings at Warwick, Ludlow, Hereford. and Cheltenham as a member of the security staff (approximately 90 meetings a year).
