THE Angel family are always generous with their hospitality at their home meet in Lisrenny, with a marquee situated beside the Mistresses Garden. It is ideal for catching up on happenings since last season.

Jane Angel’s smashing hunter Storm that she purchased from Roger Kiely in the Duhallows is now retired. One of the many interesting members of the Filgate family was William Filgate, master (1860-1916), who hunted the pack for over 50 seasons. Remarkably, he was completely blind for the last seven seasons, but that did not deter him from hunting, which he still managed to do when escorted by one of his hunt staff.
