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.

Still pointing - and keeping in touch with our AGA lady riders at Whitfield and Garthorpe

The AGA ladies open series may well have finished at Littlewindsor on April 22nd with our 28th AGA sponsored ladies open race, but we have still been pointing every weekend since, and keeping in touch with our AGA lady riders.

Grafton, Whitfield - A visit to Whitfield is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and we headed to this popular venue for the second time in four weeks, and the third time this season. The Simpson sat nav was definitely on the blink for our previous visit, however, we arrived without incident this time around.

Hannah Watson and Mad Victor

A good ladies race will always be of interest to AGA Pointing, whether we are sponsoring or not, and we certainly got a good one today. It was won by Mad Victor, piloted by annah Watson, who beat Citizens Arrest and Bridget Andrews.

AGA Queen Claire Hart is excited about her new AGA Total Control cooker (and so is her mum)

A brand new AGA Total Control cooker in British Racing Green will soon be on the way to Chipping Camden to take pride of place in the kitchen of Helen Hart. All measured up and the order has been placed - it won't be long now!

AGA Project Sales Manager Richard Gillot was in Chipping Camden yesterday to measure up in preparation for the arrival of a brand new AGA Total Control cooker - which will also be fitted with the AGA iTotal Control app. The cooker is being installed in the home of Claire's mum, Helen, although we have it on good authority that Claire will probably be using it more than her mum!
