Mossgiel Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 doc20170110073025.pdf Thought this extract from SNFC Rennes result 1976, where Wilson Noble's " Black Rocket" won the north section, would be of interest.

Valiant Fifer Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 Pools n prizes over £ 57,000 and thats 40 years ago. With inflation and todays money it would be a hell of a lot more. Sadley even in todays money its a heck of a lot less.
