AGA point-to-point winners visit the Divertimenti Cookery School in London

Back in July we took all of the winners of our additional award categories - plus our two new champions, for an end of season celebration in London at our Divertimenti Cookery School. A delicious menu was dreamed up for this hands-on session, which was designed to be fun as well as challenging, and each of the winners brought a partner so that they could work in teams.
Something fizzy was served while our group waited for the arrival of our host for the day - TV Chef Rachel Green while AGA Rangemaster Group CEO William McGrath gives his pre-race address, thanking our group for their efforts during the season and telling them to have a great day!
Rachel Green has arrived and after addressing the group she is straight in amongst it to demonstrate that she wants this to be a hands-on session!
I do believe that ace Yorkshire trainer Mrs Cherry Coward has just spotted the camera man!

AGA Ladies Series steps up a gear at Barbury Castle, both on and off the course!

The venue for the second AGA Ladies Open of the season is Barbury Castle and there was a real sense of deja-vu for AGA CEO William McGrath because for the second season running he was heard to say - "is this well hidden or is the satnav on the blink?"
The wind had played havoc with our attempts to show off the new AGA Home Business set up at Cottenham, but Derek bagged a prime spot upon arriving at the course (just after dawn), and we soon had everything in place ... and it looked good!
People were soon flocking to our AGA tent to find out what this new AGA Home Business idea is all about, including PPA board member Heather Kemp and her husband Tony. Heather, newly retired from the saddle, was also clutching a handful of notes which were swiftly exchanged for 6 of our limited edition AGA Pointing mugs!

Pastures new for one of our AGA Pointing boys as Chris takes on a new challenge

If you have been to an AGA qualifier during the past two years you will most probably have met Chris. Cheeky grin, Barbour cap perched on his head at a jaunty angle and looks a bit like he could be in a boy band! Well, after nearly 4 years with AGA he has found a new challenge and I thought it would be nice to take a look back at his "pointing career" in words and pictures.
This one is from Dalton Park and was taken towards the end of our first season as national sponsor in 2011 ... what's in the box Chris?
