Conditions change at Atherstone meeting, 2nd April
Due to a clerical error a contradictory set of conditions appears in the printed Planner for the Atherstone meeting on 2nd April and the authorities have approved a change to the conditions as follows:
[x_alert type="muted"]
2ND RACE - 1.35pm The PPORA CLUB MEMBERS Conditions Race, 12st Safety Factor 20
