NCASS Night at The Dogs 10 May 2016

NCASS held a night at the Newcastle dogs on Thursday 5th May, allowing students to network in an informal environment. It was a free event which included entry, a drink, pie and peas. 

This year’s ever-popular NCASS visit to Newcastle Dogs, with a healthy attendance of 70 ICAEW registered students, was on 5 May. As ever, the evening commenced with the customary, and alliterative, pie, peas and a pint, providing the perfect precursor to the evening ahead.  With tactics discussed, forms studied and bets placed, winners cheered and losers, well, tried again.  The winner of the NCASS trophy, race 8, was number 5 Emotional Dream. Congratulations to the winning dog, the success it hopefully brought to those who had a stake and to Newcastle Greyhound Stadium for hosting us.  It was an excellent, warm evening, with fun and healthy competition. Another great event.

Madeleine Harmens of Newcastle University said “By the end of the night I was £6 up, so classed it as a success! Overall, it was a great evening, filled with fun and a healthy bit of competition. I look forward to next years and hope to build upon my success, as do many others.”
