DONAL Smith, the driving force behind the fund-raising Cheltenham Festival evenings in the Minerstown Tavern, has been in touch to give a final tally following this year’s Chinwag at the Tyrella pub.

“I’m delighted to report that we managed to raise another £300 for our Minerstown Tavern Cheltenham Chinwag pot for the Jonjo Bright Trust courtesy of our Easter Monday raffle. The first prize, a beautiful limited edition Annie Power print kindly donated by Jane Wills Equine Portraits, was won by Michael Smith from the East Down Hunt Club.
