Some days you just have to ‘Gin and bear it’…

Delicious gin and tonic cake, anyone?

Farewell to the AGA final, it was fun while it lasted!

It was the end of an era for me last Friday at Stratford Racecourse and I enjoyed every minute of a long but happy day. The day started with the PPORA awards lunch and the Paddock Pavilion was bursting at the seams as 320 people gathered to listen to guest speaker, Nicky Henderson. He was followed by Luke Harvey – who hosted what […]

Lots of fun to be had with the AGA Jokers – for boys and girls!

My latest blog post takes a look at the new AGA Point-to-Point competition which will run throughout the season, with a special mention for the AGA Jokers! There’s also a look back at the Point-to-Point Authority Press and Media day, which took place on Thursday, 29th October at Stratford Racecourse. As ever, the story is brought to life with lots of photos. Enjoy!

National champions are saluted at Umberleigh, and the AGA man goes glamping!

When is the AGA man not the AGA man? Answer = never, although I’m not complaining! There was no AGA involvement at Umberleigh and this was a day out to enjoy the end of season party atmosphere, chat (lots), take photos, and yes, enjoy a drink or two. All of that was achieved and we […]

Video – Anglo-Irish Point-to-Point Challenge 2015, Chaddesley Corbett

The Albrighton & Woodland (South) hosted the Mountain Warehouse Anglo-Irish Point-to-Point Challenge, which also included the finale of the exciting AGA All Comers Championship. The film was made […]

Good days, sunny days, windy days, fun days and long days, we’ve had them all during the last four weeks, and we’ve enjoyed every single one of them, starting at Chaddesley Corbett on 18th April and finishing at Whitfield on 17th May.

Spring sunshine, old friends and oh so close to a Royal AGA winner at Paxford

What a contrast to Easter Monday 2014, Lydstep was my destination on that day, an eight hour round trip! This year, it was a short hop down the Fosse Way to Paxford, back home in time for tea! Lydstep was wonderful I might add, but next time I go I’m definitely staying over. Anyway, here […]

Blue sky and sunshine at Brafield-on-the-Green for round 11 of the AGA All Comers championship

This is a fixture that I’ve always looked at and thought “I’d like to go there”, so we did, and what a glorious day! It was well organised, there were plenty of runners and I had lots of AGA colleagues with me. Anyway, that’s more than enough words, let’s have a look at some photos!
