LAST week’s bad weather not only forced the postponement of the East Down point-to-point at Tyrella but, in tandem, the Pints After The Points Minerstown Tavern fundraiser in aid of the Jonjo Bright Trust.

As the point-to-point has been rescheduled to Bank Holiday Monday, March 19th, Donal Smith and his team have disappointingly decided to call time on their planned ‘Chinwag’ but will be going ahead with the monster raffle tonight at the Minerstown Tavern where those attending can have some Cheltenham chat among themselves.

The list of great raffle prizes can be found on the Pints After The Points Facebook page and Donal, under a stunning fluorescent orange hat, will have some for sale this afternoon at the North Down point-to-point in Kirkistown. The auction, which includes a nomination to Yeats (who sired two winners at Fontwell on Wednesday) will also finish up tomorrow so get bidding now if you wanted to secure any of the lots which too can be found on the PATP Facebook page.
