AGA goes to Chaddesley Corbett for some bank holiday pointing action - and then throws a Jubilee party

The last AGA fixture was back in April, however, we are still going strong and today was our fourth visit of the season to Chaddesley Corbett - which is one of my favourite courses, for the Albrighton Woodland meeting. The sun was shining and the car park was looking healthy, with lots of picnics in evidence, reinforcing the widely held view that this is a real family day out - the message has to be come pointing!
Jane and Lorna have a natter in between races
As ever we took the opportunity to catch up with some of our AGA lady riders, plus many of our friends in the pointing community. The ladies national championship has seen Jane Williams and Jacqueline Coward pull clear of the field in recent weeks and their battle was set to continue with both in action today.

Laertes in the PPORA Club Members race
There was a walkover for Jane in the first, and a 3rd place for JC on Laertes in the second, before Jane pulled further clear with a decisive win on Surenaga in the third, the ladies open - easing home by 25 lengths.
