Gemma from Harrogate won four VIP tickets for Ladies Evening at Wetherby Races and arrived in style for the final meet of the season.

Harrogate competition winner flown into Wetherby Races as VIP A Your Harrogate competition winner and three friends arrived at Wetherby Races in style yesterday (Tuesday) for the final meet of the season. Gemma and her friends Sarah, Catherine and Lyndsey won VIP tickets with helicopter arrival to Ladies Evening at Wetherby Races. The group, who met during their school days at St Aidan's, said they were "nervous" before the flight but enjoyed seeing the beautiful Harrogate district from above. Gemma told Your Harrogate:

"It was amazing. Some of us have never been in a helicopter before but it was really good, we loved it! "The last time I came to the races was years ago, before covid and before children, so it's a really nice treat."
Speaking about the flight with Helijet Aviation and Captain Scotty, Gemma's guests added:
"It was surprisingly smooth! I was very nervous but it was beautiful. We saw all the traffic below, the school run... It's the only way to travel from now on!"
The Your Harrogate competition was made possible thanks to Wetherby Races and Helijet Aviation. Check out a clip of the helicopter arrival here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctb6rBfovs5/?hl=en Read more local stories from Your Harrogate here.
