More than 120 staff from 25 agencies in the region attended a free night of pig racing in Leeds at the latest YPA social event.
The region’s biggest media networking forum hosted a nine-race meet at the Northern Monkey pub in Leeds.
Nine winners took home prizes donated by sponsors including CBS Outdoor, City Inns, Coniston Hotel, The Drum, OK Karaoke, Principal Hayley Hotels and Radio Aire, while many more took advantage of the on-site Tote betting.
As well as the racing, the YPA laid on free chips and sausages (pork of course) and agency staff enjoyed drinks promos all night.

1. Nina Hands, Brass Agency – Cedar Court Hotel stay
