I think you've hit the nail on the head. It was extremely well run and because it was the only show in town people had to behave.

I still remember the day we had at Ellerslie. They managed to get us a room in the main stand and it was just brilliant.

Can someone describe just what it was that Ange and Dave had about the formula with Racecafe, that so many people talk about with such glowing reference

times were a lot different then but we had a group of moderators and all posts were moderated as we did have the obvious trouble makers who needed to be kept an eye on.  The moderators could discuss issues privately and agree on the stance with Ange and Dave.  Perhaps being one of the early forums like it was and pre facebook and really Ange and Dave had their heart in the right place - then when they sold it to Annie and then the "future mayor of Auckland" the wheels fell off.

Actually thats a great idea Craig. Will get back to you on it.

Probably be good to do it on Cup Day depending on who can turn up.

I do have paid zoom subscription so not limited to numbers of attendees or length of "meeting" so could assist with that - have to work that day now but will be online "watching" races

I am not sure why you need to know who people are Karrots?

Three years ago, Globe and I when were on on Racecafe, I will clean my mouth out, invited members to meet up at the Jewels in Cambridge, and we were the only takers. Apart from that, I have not met anyone on here, and are happy to have conversations about our wonderful sport of racing, and will continue share when I have something racing.

 

we have met years ago when we did battle with Mission - and then Bruce and I and a couple of ladies were the main moderating support for Ange and Dave in the good race cafe days.  Globe might have even joined Griffins after me advertising on Race Cafe and think Mardy did as well.  I know Brad Reid did when he joined our second syndicate - wish he had decided he didnt get enough money for Bolt for Brilliance and kept him and leased him to us as he might give us a run for our money tomorrow

I hope to be in Auckland if Covid lets us travel over Xmas New years as my wee grandson will be in Starship for several months and I will be missing him by then so a catch up and another visit to the racing museum would be excellent

Globe is indeed part of the the syndicate and they had Monty Python a few years back as well before it headed off to Oz.

Monty went to race but came back and is retired to a large hill paddock south of Oamaru - one syndicate member goes out to groom him and he still comes running over for a pat.  Father Christmas stayed there and just a week ago had his first win for new owners in Queensland

was a tyre kicker - no formal offer - yay
