Treats for Troops at Market Rasen races on Remembrance Sunday
Forces personnel are being given free admission to Market Rasen Racecourse for its jump racing fixture and family day on Sunday, November 11.
And spectators are being encouraged to donate ‘Treats for our Troops’.
Pip Kirkby, the racecourse’s general manager, said: “We traditionally race on Remembrance Sunday at Market Rasen Racecourse. And as this year the day falls on the 11th of the month, we have decided to make it an extra special occasion for our armed services.
“We are delighted to offer free admission to all servicemen and women – and we know that our visitors will donate generously to ‘Treats for our Troops’ - especially with Christmas not being too long now and many service personnel being overseas and away from their families.”
