What: Hogsmeade Derby
Who: Bankrolled by the Blackwoods, and Foxwoods (contact me if you want in on this)
Anyone in the WC or MC can buy a ticket and attend to the lower circles
Ginny is giving invites to all of her usual fun people set regardless of blood - if you are UCPB assume an invitation has been issued by her parents.
Cost:
Hanover Enclosure - 2 sickles for upper stands, nosebleed seats, noisey, crowded, and with a questionable view
Merlin Enclosure - 1-5gs - there are some different MC seating options within this areas, broadly Upper MC to UC segregation.
Upper Circle - no cost, invitation only by one of the sponsoring families- Minister for magic and wife get an invite, but no other ministry unless UCPB's.
Derby Ball - No Cost
A cost to enter horses - 20g - if you think you've got one fast enough, but a large purse for the winner. If you enter a horse you'll be invited to the Upper circle regardless of class - how you're treated is another question.
Where: A magically created racecourse accessed from near padmore park
Why: The Blackwoods especially are mad for horses and Royal Ascot is a big ol' thing and its an opportunity to see and be seen.
When: 15th May
Race day kicks off early, lots of fun, boisterous carnival atmosphere in the WC and lower MC tiers. Beer and food will be available.
Merlin Enclosure - more sedate but also more exclusive, sunday best expected - afternoon tea and set menus available, betting agents will come to you.
Upper Circle - Decadent food and drink options, everything comes to you and is comped
There will be a ball at the Blackwood estate afterwards for the usual UC and upper MC set. You might not be invited to the Upper circle but may get a tap for the ball.
