The Rotary Club of Strathaven has secured a groundbreaking sponsorship deal with Hamilton Park Racecourse.

Hamilton Park has agreed to sponsor the club’s forthcoming Annual Sportsman’s Dinner (March 12) and all 200 guests who attend will receive a free ticket to a race meeting in the forthcoming 2010 season.

In addition the racecourse has provided a unique auction / raffle prize in the shape of an ‘ultimate day at the races’ which covers five-star admission for four, the opportunity to judge the best turned out horse ahead of a race and to present to a winning trainer and jockey after a race.
