Yesterday I headed to the Newmarket Holidays networking event in Leeds.

First time at Flight Club and, turns out… I’m actually not too bad at darts! 🤣

But THIS moment deserved a share… winning the Donkey Derby! 🏇😂

Definitely wasn’t expecting to be quite this competitive, but I’ll take the win! 🏆🤣
