LATEST NEWS
The 2026/2027 New Year Meet. Update 26.10.26.
Important Information for those booked on to this meet.
A change of pitch (to grass)
Unlike last year, SYDA are not allowed to put all units on hardstanding at Thirsk Racecourse.
It is extremely likely that your unit will be sited on a grass pitch.
The working party will take in to account your unit type and will do their best to site all units in a suitable place. (Within a few feet of tarmac or road whenever possible)
If you believe that a grass pitch is not to your liking and you wish to cancel your booking, please inform Dave Swift. (Sooner rather than later and at a reasonable hour)
Tel No. 07866 000334
Please speak to Dave Swift. (Do not leave messages or texts)
