Course Update
The strip of land which had been sprayed ready for seeding last year is now beautifuly green with a good thick cover. Fences 1 and 2 have been moved back with the start now closer to the open ditch so that all fences are situated on old, thick turf. The extra few yards this adds will be compensated for by moving in of some course markers. We have had good rainfall through Feb and March, and with the milder weather grass is now growing well and should provide an excellent surface. As always, fences are prepared to the highest standard, and everything necessary will be done to provide optimum going.
T he Vale of Lune Point to Point will be offering a £10 refund of the entry fee to all owners that run their horses on Easter Saturday as
a thank you for supporting the event.
