The Route Hunt are grateful to all those who are sponsoring races and the volunteers who help in preparing the point to point course and the running of the point to point as well as all the landowners who give the use of their land for hunting throughout the season.

As well as horse racing and a host of bookmakers for those who like a bet, there will be a bar and a tea tent serving freshly prepared sandwiches, tray bakes, tea and coffee where friends and family both young and old can socialise and discuss the potential winners of the day.

If you are looking for a great day out, why not come along, bring your family and friends.

The first hunt of the season is on Saturday 12th October.
