Tom and his staff hosted a Race-night at our Golf Club on Friday evening and from the feedback from Club members everyone had a most enjoyable evening. Tom is affable, easy going and struck up a good relationship with our members. His team were very efficient even though new to the venue, and I would have no hesitation hiring them again.
Response : First time visiting Swaffham Golf Club, excellent venue. Perfectly organised evening by Stuart having gained Race Sponsors and sold all horses in advance of the evening. This enabled the Club to raise as much as possible from the evening, using our tried and tested system with our computerised tote system.

Tom and his Team are amazing. The care they put into the Race Night Evening making it full of enjoyment for everyone. We can’t wait for our next one February 2021.

This year was our second race night in aid of Sue Ryder and MacMillan Cancer Support, and our second using Tom and his team. We find his services and professionalism to be first class, and by getting him to present the evening, gives us one less thing to stress over as we know we can rely upon him provide an entertaining race night. Believe me, organising a race night evening is no walk in the park, but knowing once you’ve got Tom booked, you are in safe hands, certainly takes some of the pressure off. You won’t be disappointed, and I will be using Tom again next year.

The team of MC and two Tote operators arrived in good time to set up at the venue. They decided on the best positions for Screen and Tote terminals so as not to cause congestion for payouts and placing bets. As bets were being placed the amounts and payouts were being displayed on the big screen. After each race the amount to be paid was displayed in seconds. No working out with bits of paper. Very efficient set up and would highly recommend. We even had a pig race to finish off with.

Tom and his team are really professional, helpful and certainly have made all the race nights we have had very successful. Can't thank them enough for all their help.

I have used Premier Race Nights for over 10 years for fundraising events. My events have been for school PTFA's, Young Farmers clubs and even events at work with none English speaking staff - they loved it! The service you get from Tom and the team is 5*, nothing is too much trouble. Contacting Tom is easy, he is always prompt with his responses. The tote operators are efficient and friendly. If you put the preparation work in before your event you can easily make in excess of £1500! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone. Overall a race night working with Premier Race Nights is a good bet!

NSPCC C/O spar wyberton decided to organise a race night to raise funds for the charity this year. We had been to other events where Tom and his team ran the racing and enjoyed it so much we knew it would be a great night and we wasn’t disappointed nor were the guests of the event everyone commented as they left what a brilliant night they had had for some it was their first ever race night. We will certainly be using Tom and his team again and will recommend him to anyone else that is looking to arrange a race night. Thanks again Tom and the Premier Race Night team.

We recently held a race night for our cricket club and booked Tom for the event. We'd held a race night last year with Tom and it was a tremendous success so we were hopeful of a similar outcome this year. We weren't disappointed, it's really nice to know that apart from sorting out the attendees I would be able to sit back and enjoy the evening as Tom and his staff do the rest; running the races, doing the tote, whipping up the "punters" for each race, and doing a fine job on selling the final auction race. We're hoping to run another one next year, or maybe even again this year if we can organise it and if Tom is available, I'd recommend him to anyone planning a race night.
Response : Another excellent evening that was a great success, because the Cricket Club committee had done a lot of ground work before the actual night. They had obtained sponsors, sold horses and tickets to ensure punters came along. The punters were very vocal by cheering on all the runners and bidding against each other in the auction race.

I used Tom last weekend and although there is a wait to book him, it is well worth it. Regular communication from the initial enquiry, and responses to any questions 9 times out of 10 on the same day. Tom and his team were all very professional and they put on a great service. I will definately use his service again. Thanks.
Response : Raising funds for Boston ladies hockey team. Received 2 enquiries from people attending the event, about similar event at sportsman club, Boston in the autumn. Demand for Friday and Saturday evenings always exceed availability with some organising booking 12 months in advance.

Tom and his team gave us a great night. The professionalism and banter contributed greatly to the excellent return from the tote. Thanks a lot guys. John.
Response : This organiser had done his homework in advance, getting races sponsored and selling horse owners in advance of the night. Leaving those attending on the night to spend money on the computerised tote and auction race.

We used Tom, Keiran and Ashley for a fundraiser for a childrens cancer charity. From the initial phone call to enquire what was involved to the the event finishing Tom was extremely helpful and professional. We also sold sponsorships of the races and supplied Tom with that information and company logos beforehand, these were displayed on the screen before the race and printed on the tote tickets ensuring maximum advertising. The tote was run smoothly with people even commentated on how polite Keiran and Ashley were, all in all a great team. Tom works the crowd beautifully - all you have to do is turn up. We raised £873 which is going to be very helpful to the charity, thanks again Tom! We will definitely use Tom and his team again, we're already planning the next race night!
Response : Sarah hosted a well organised event, and had a great crowd. She had done all her ground work necessary to guarantee a successful event. Look forward to 2014 event on Saturday 6th September for the Callum Pite - Smile cause.

Tom and his company provided an excellent and professional race night service for us. Enabling us to raise over £1,000 for Boston Ladies Circle chosen charity of The Chemotherapy Suite at Pilgrim Hospital, Boston. They arrived over an hour before the first race to set up their equipment. Offering a polite and efficient service from beginning to end. Thank you Tom for all your help. Liz and the girls from Boston Ladies Circle.
Response : Very well organised evening, with the organisers selling horses and obtaining sponsorship prior to the night.

We were very happy with our Race Night at Barnack. Tom's energy and enthusiasm helped to swell the tote and Keiran's efficiency made the whole process very slick. Overall a very enjoyable evening with a good fund raising result for the Community Association. A first class experience. Thank you. Roy Chowings.
Response : Return visit to this small visit venue. Excellent hospitality. Enthusiastic crowd that joined in the fun of the night by cheering their horses on, and betting generously.

From first liaising with Tom about our fundraiser event through to he and Alex visiting us last night (9th March 2012) at Derby Rugby Club the service provided has been truly excellent. Why did we not think of them before? All we had to do at the club was arrive and enjoy ourselves - the service provided by both Tom and Alex was truly professional, effortless for all of the guests and most entertaining and we walked away all smiles having enjoyed a great night having also accumulated just about £1000 from the night towards our under 9's rugby tour. There is no doubt we will be doing this again soon and when the word is out to all of our other teams at DRFC I guess they will be contacting Tom too. A sincere thank you to both Tom and Alex for all their work, which I will most highly recommend.
Response : Very well organised night selling horses and getting sponsors, plus getting promotion on Club website so parents and friends were aware of the event.
