THE Northern Region of Eventing Ireland added a ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ to the list of annual honours which were presented at the region’s awards ball in the Stormont Hotel, Belfast last Saturday. The first recipient of the perpetual silver cup which was bequeathed to the region was the redoubtable Vanne Campbell MBE who has devoted many years to the sport, seldom having missed a fixture in the 50 years. Riders from all around the country will recognise Vanne from her role as cross-country timekeeper and starter.
