APOLOGIES to Jonathan Drake for not only missing the fact that he won a golden button at the recent Golden Button Challenge in Gloucestershire but that he managed to do so after a lengthy solo journey to get there.

Co-founder and managing director of City Break Apartments, which provides short-let serviced apartments in Dublin, Drake was meant to travel over to England with Douglas Taylor. Disappointingly, the latter had a fall out hunting the previous Saturday and had to withdraw the thoroughbred Hurricane Darwin from the Challenge.
