Following the successful event in 2008, we have been asked to repeat it in 2009.
MX-5 Plumpton Races Ladies Day – Sunday 20th September 2009
Come for a fun day out at Plumpton Races Ladies Day, whether you like a flutter or simply come to watch the spectacle.
The Event
Every year Plumpton Races (nr Lewes, East Sussex) holds a Ladies Day, where ladies are encouraged to dress up in their finest.
Ladies who dress up and wear a hat get in free; everyone else pays £10.00 each.
There is a competition for the best dressed lady (nothing for the cars).
Other than ladies who want to be part of the event, there is no enforced dress code.
This is quite an informal race track and not as grand as Ascot or Newmarket.
We will all park together on grass near the track where we can watch the races and picnic.
Meeting Up
As people can come from such a wide area to get to Plumpton, there is no organised drive. So you are free to make your own way there or team up with local friends for a run through the lovely Sussex lanes.
To enable us all to park together we will meet at The Plough pub in Plumpton www.theploughatplumpton.co.uk and then drive together into the track.
So please let us know if you would like to join us so that we can make the appropriate arrangements. We aim the meet up at 12:30.
What to Do on the Day
The first race is at 2 p.m.
As you enter the track, drive over to the left and park together by the rail.
Following the picnic you can pay a small fee to cross the track to the Grand Stand area were you can stand and watch the races, watch the horses in the parade ring or just simply people-watch.
To cross the track, ladies may want to wear flat-heeled shoes as it would be difficult in stilettos
