City's Managing Director explained about the various parties involved in the takeover and hoped to have some news at the end of the month.
He also spoke about the Isle of Capri Casino which has £37m spent on it. It is a different set-up to most other casinos in that the American Company running it have built it as an entertainment centre where the likely spend has been predicted between £20-£25 but a venue to cater for the high rollers as well.
The Jaguar Club at the Arena which will be the new Presidents Club,is due to open in the next couple of months was also mentioned.

Like many of us, Mr Fletcher was not happy with the PA system at the Arena. Thankfully,a new system is currently being put in. Paul Fletcher said it had to be right and if it wasn't it would be ripped out and an new one introduced. With that he was off with Ken Sharp to another meeting aimed at boosting the club's finances.

Being Ascot,hats were the order of the day and it was pleasing to see that many females had donned some fine and fancy headwear for the occasion. Joe Elliott praised those who wearing hats and awarded first prize to Mrs Jaynes.
