BELSTONE Village Hall is to host an old-fashioned race night on Saturday, October 25.

Much more involved than TV race nights, the event involves rolling the dice and moving six coloured wooden horses up and down a board for a series of handicaps, hurdles, flat races and steeplechases.

The unusual event starts at 7pm, and tickets, which include a hot supper and free drink, cost £5 for adults and £3 for under elevens. Call Peter Hammon on 01837 840234 or Chris Walpole on 01837 840498 for more information.
