Kenilworth Racing have released a newsletter update, which includes a handy new whatsapp contact facility.
The Sporting Post tested the whatsapp line on Monday with a random media question about public access on racedays and received a response within seven minutes!
Time to rebuild and start afresh!
Exciting news is that renovations have commenced on the 1st Floor at Kenilworth Racecourse, which will mean that the RA Room will not be operational for Racing on Wednesday 18 November.
Owners and trainers are welcome to make use of the Pocket Power Room for that day.
There will be limited light lunch and drinks available – please indicate via reply email or WhatsApp if you would like to have a meal and we will communicate with you directly on the options.
All meals will need to be pre-ordered.
- SUITE HOLDERS
Due to the renovations there will be limited catering available on Wednesday 18 November. If you would like to place an order for a light lunch, please could you notify us before Wednesday if you will be requiring food and we will share the options with you.
The detailed menu on offer from the new service provider will be shared with you early next week, together with the ordering process. The new systems will be fully operational for racing on the 21st of November. You are welcome to contact Kirsti Lyall (suite liaison) on 083 450 6665 if you have any questions.
