Description | A special Race Committee was established by the Council in February 1888 to decide whether the Corporation should continue to control racing on the Roodee or lease out the Roodee for this purpose. In November 1889, the committee was renamed the Racecourse Committee and separate minutes were kept from 1891. The Roodee was leased to the Chester Race Company in 1892 and the committee last met in March 1902. |
