    • Unless you have been to the races with family from a young age I think a day at the races as a form of entertainment can be a foreign idea.  Social event usually means going as a group, and generally consuming alcohol.  Clubs really must be responsible hosts and ensure food is available.  This is where the race day packages are a good idea.  I think all of these packages should include food.  If they are sold a fair way out it gives the customer time to budget for drink, food and betting.  I think all race day packages should include betting element of some kind ... punters club, easy bets, or betting vouchers.  I think a host or racing personality should be assigned to each group to explain racing jargon and bet types.  A lot about racing is confusing.  You won't get repeat custom without a good experience.
