MY wife and I have long considered spending our retirement and moving to our favourite county of Herefordshire.

One of the main attractions for me was a day at the races. Of course the closure of the course means a change of heart, especially with the demise of the football club as well.

I know the racecourse has been mothballed in anticipation of a takeover bid by a local consortium, but why the silence?

There has been no news for sometime, at least not reaching us in Wales!
