Race Night with Scottish Economics Society
A group of near 100 members of the Scottish Economics Society arrived outside the magnificent Corporate Hospitality facilities at Perth Race Course for some Evening Entertainment in the shape of a fun filled Race Night.
The multi-national crowd enjoyed a sumptuous dinner before being treated to a few words wisdom from guest speaker Rob, who spliced in some betting tips along with his entertaining anecdotes. By this time the tables were raring to, and without further ado the Race Night kicked off. Only modest sums of fun money were placed on the first race, and as it began the tables erupted.
The Race Night was soon in full flow, and caution was quickly thrown to the wind as race-by-race the bets grew and grew in size. Punters cheered on their chosen horses with passion and vigour like never before, urging each and every one towards the finish line as the tables competed for the coveted Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy.
Sally, the Race Night Bookie, was worked harder than ever before, paying out huge sums of money. Luckily Tables 4 and 6 kept her in busines...! The atmosphere rose and the tension mounted as the Evening Entertainment wore on, which only added to the banter on the night
As the Race Night drew to a close, the scores were fairly tight...it was going to take something special in the final race of the evening. Unfortunately, Table 8 just weren't quite special enough. Following a strong start the team threw it all away in the dramatic finale, and came forward to collect the dreaded Wooden Spoon for their efforts.
And so it was time to crown the Race Night champions. With a staggering, record-smashing £12,400, the title and the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy went to the pheonomenal Table 2. The cheers rang around the room as the team members came forward to collect their prize.
A fantastic night of Evening Entertainment was enjoyed by all who attended, the Race Night had proved a great success, and everybody at Team Challenge Company looks forward to working with the Scottish Economics Society again.
