These are normally good quality & have all the fixtures with 7 days on one page. Order form just asks you tick a box to ‘confirm’ that you are an RUK member but if you tick that, I’m sure they’re not checking.
Ostensibly ‘free’ but £1.99 for P&P which is good value:

December 10, 2014 at 11:55 #498033Their online Christmas competition is a shambles.
December 10, 2014 at 13:40 #498037Does it really cost £1.99 for postage and packing for a diary? Would have thought it was much cheaper than that, wouldn’t it go in ordinary second class post?
December 10, 2014 at 16:41 #498047Packing may include both labour and material cost
December 10, 2014 at 16:52 #498050It’s just a way for them to make a few quid on it realistically. half of that would be P&P I suppose.

December 17, 2014 at 04:23 #498738They wont lay a bet but received a free diary from Coral’s and they didn’t even ask for the 87 pence postage, put RUK to shame.
RUK has been a big disappointment, proliferated by bookmakers adverts, frequent poor presentation and lack of interest in the racing. Should be doing so much better for a subscription channel charging £22.50p a month.
Shouldn’t be this way but I’m actually looking forward to cancelling RUK in the near future.
December 22, 2014 at 12:16 #499226I’ve ordered last week. it’s a very good deal but on ordering one it took me to my papal where I paid and that was it. I trust they send to the address registered to my paypal as I wasnt asked to enter an address after that

If it goes to the Papal address, there’ll be RUKtions in Rome!
December 22, 2014 at 14:52 #499234My diary arrived today, and I’m pretty happy with it. Good listing of Irish (as well as British) principal race dates, racecourse information and all fixtures set out each day. I’m not a RUK member but had no problem getting a copy. Thanks to Betlarge for flagging this up.
December 29, 2014 at 11:49 #499864I would suggest there’s a connection between non-subscribers having no difficulty getting one and the £1.99 p&p.
Not much festive spirit shown from RUK to subscribers though, thanks to Eddie for flagging up a real "free" one from Corals, looks better quality with some colour pictures inside.
December 29, 2014 at 12:25 #499867I got my 2015 diary from the Coral’s shop. If I was in there more often I’d probably have got it for nothing but it only cost £1 (and there’s a coupon for a free £1 bet in it) and I didn’t have to muck around waiting for postage.
December 31, 2014 at 18:26 #500007Got mine free from Paddy Power brilliant .. all the fixtures for 2015 including the new Chelmsford City, ready reckoners etc.
One year they gave all their punters umbrellas as well, be assured you’ll never get lost in a crowd with one of thoseThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...December 31, 2014 at 19:34 #500013Not so long ago that PP handed out diaries to all the racegoers leaving Cheltenham on PP Gold Cup day but suspect the late publication of fixtures has put paid to that as none of the diaries seem to be available until December these days.
Received my RacingUK diary and perfectly happy with it.
January 1, 2015 at 23:20 #500107I’m not quite sure why a measly £1.99 is a problem. I doubt RUK make any profit on them.
It contains all the info I need and it goes to work with me every day as I wrote all my shifts on it.
January 6, 2015 at 14:58 #500562Should say I got my diary from RUK day before Christmas Eve, very happy with it, £1.99 and I do not subscribe.
You do not want a free diary from your bookie, it means you are losing and they dont want you to forget them -
