EASTER Sunday took me to Castletown-Geoghegan for the Westmeath Hunt’s meeting. Not so long ago this day was regarded as a bonus day when attendance was going to be better than on a normal Sunday.

However, now with so many other counter attractions and the ease of travel making the festive weekend an opportunity to get away for a break, there are not so many people looking for something different to do on the day. As a result the attendance at this meeting, sad to say, was probably the smallest I can remember for a spring point-to-point here.
