Does anyone know of a preview night in Birmingham at all? Would like to get to one this year but won't be able to travel too far

A couple of years back there was one at a working mens club in Kingstanding. Lydia Hislop, Steve Mellish were on the panel and it was a decent night. I'm not sure if it was on last year though
 
Yeah I’ll be going

Last year was my first ever preview night, I think this site ruined it a bit for me as almost everything they said had been discussed on here!

A random guy came up to me when they were talking about the Triumph and simply said “Nube Negra wins the Fred Winter” and disappeared into the background again which was the most bizarre thing, however when he came round the bend I thought it was the most profitable thing to ever happen to me!

Not the most high profile cast but the food is good and it’s a couple of hours talking racing so I’ll be an ever present
 
Larry Tomkins Bar, Cork City. Tuesday 26th February 7:30pm. Entrance fee €10 includes free €5 bet. Panel : JJ Slevin, Charlie Swan, Tony Mullins, John Dineen. I'll be there again !
