Mums enjoy day 'at the races'

Mums enjoy day 'at the races' --- Visiter 27th June 2008

Mums in Scarisbrick were swept along in an open top carriage to Kingswood College's Royal Ascot Ladies' Day celebrations.

More than 100 women arrived in limousines and carriages to be treated to a day of fashion, food and horsing about.

In between Royal Ascot races, the women enjoyed singing with Wigan's Got Talent winner, Scott Chapman.

Former Kingswood pupil, Lansdale Robinson also entertained guests with his magic tricks, while current pupils displayed their horse riding skills.

Headteacher, Eric Borowski, said: 'It was hard work to organise but it was worth it. The event is to say thank you to all the mums who do a lot for us through the year but other visitors came as well. We couldn't have races at the school but our young, experienced riders performed dressage for the guests.'

Fashion companies Tatters of Longton and Marc Cain also impressed the audience with a clothges show.
