Navane,
I gather you were in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. What year were you there. Dad has badge priveleges so we usually go for Opening Day and Gold Cup Day (AKA Ladies Day) and I was wondering if we might have been within feet of each other and not known it. We usually set up a Brit style tailgate before the races begin and then go in to the enclosure before the arrival of the Queen and her entourage. Did you guys also go to the Henley Royal Regatta? That is normally held the week right after Royal Ascot and we generally hang out at Leander Club and the Steward's Enclosure. My club in London, the East India-Sports-and Public Schools Club, organizes guest badges and there are usually a gang of American ExPats who set up in Lyon's Meadow under a marquee flying the Stars and Stripes. Again, a strict dress code. White flannel trousers, rowing blazers, straw boaters or Panama hats for us and Day frocks with hats for you all. Champagne, smoked salmon, and strawberries by the boat load. Missed this year but can't wait to get back next year. Do you get back to England often?
