Get Together for Royal Ascot – in Bolton

High heels and outrageous hats – the prestige of Royal Ascot Ladies Day is coming to Bolton, courtesy of Guide Dogs on Thursday, 17 June.

The town, better known for cloth caps and real ale, is having a fashion and taste makeover in aid of Guide Dogs, taking place at the De Vere Whites Hotel, Reebok Stadium.

Champagne will be flowing as Royal Ascot is beamed-in live on big screens.

There will be a bubbly reception, entertainment, four course lunch, table bets and raffle. Guide Dogs will have its own tipster advising on ‘the form’.  And, there’ll be competitions for best dressed filly and most handsome stud!

Guide Dogs is inviting people throughout the North West to come along. Tickets must be purchased in advance by contacting audreemac@sky.com 01942 886025.

Guide Dogs hopes that people will organise Get Togethers for big race days and other sporting occasions.  The charity has put together an information pack, with ideas and top tips on organising events, and downloadable templates of posters and invitations to promote the fundraising.
