Ten members of staff from Green Lane Hospital, Devizes, had a great day out at the races last week when they hired a limo to take them to Ascot.

The group hired a stretch Hummer and dressed up in all their finery for the trip to the royal racecourse last Thursday.

One of the ten, Pam Kimber, explained: “Five of us had special birthdays. We had two 70s, one 60 and two 50s, so we thought we ought to do something really special to celebrate.

“It was a very successful, enjoyable day. We had a lovely driver who really got into the spirit.

“We had one or two wins with the bookies, but just being there and enjoying the spectacle was the main thing.”
