The following is an update posted to ptfc.co.uk on behalf of the Stuart Bannigan Testimonial Committee:
It was a great start to the Stuart Bannigan Testimonial Year with a packed out race night in the Alan Rough Lounge on Saturday night at Firhill. We hope everyone in attendance had a fantastic night.
A big thanks goes to our race night sponsor, Glasgow Beer Works with their limited edition Number 8 gin going down wonderfully with the lucky owners of the winning horses. We thank all of our horse owners on the night, even the ones which fell at the first!
A massive thank you to Pie Sports who supplied our superb half time snacks which kept everyone’s energy up while loudly encouraging their horses to the finish line. The fantastic bar and catering staff within the Alan Rough Lounge put in a double shift after Saturday’s matchday hospitality and our appreciation goes to each of them for helping us throughout the night. Thank you to Georgia Dunn for taking some of the iconic photos of the night to mark the event in style.
Brian Welsh was our host at Saturday night’s event and we would like to thank him for all of his hard work throughout the build up and on the night itself.
Finally, we would like to thank all of our race sponsors:
Edinburgh & EOS Supporters Club
Graham Wilson
ER Nutrition
David and Caroline Mackie
41 Sports Media
David Copeland
AM Structures
Partick Thistle Media Team
With a memorable first event in the book for the Testimonial Year, our attention swings to the second event taking place in seven weeks.
