PPORA Fixture Grants for 2025-26 Season Awarded

The PPORA is delighted to announce the eight fixtures who have received funds of £1,000 each from the small grant system created to support specific meetings who would benefit from additional funding.

The eight grants have been awarded to the following fixtures who applied during the summer, after careful consideration by the PPORA Committee, and having also been reviewed and verified by the Point-to-Point Authority and the Point-to-Point Secretaries’ Association.

Meeting	Course	Area	Date
Cornwall Hunt Club	Wadebridge	Devon & Cornwall	Sun 7 Dec
Dunston Harriers	Ampton	East Anglia	Sat 10 Jan
South Wold	Revesby Park	Midlands	Sat 17 Jan
Royal Artillery	Larkhill	Wessex	Sun 18 Jan
Curre & Llangibby	Howick	Wales	Sat 14 Mar
Morpeth	Tranwell	Northern	Sat 28 Mar
Silverton	Dunsmore	Devon & Cornwall	Sun 12 Apr
Welsh International	Ffynnon Druidion	Wales	Fri 22 May

The Morpeth at Tranwell (pictured above, c. Grace Beresford) has already announced its intention to invest their grant in providing food and drink to all owners with runners on the day in a new marquee. Fixture Secretary Emily Cookson told the PPORA:

“Owners are the heart and soul of point-to-pointing. Without their passion, dedication and love for the sport, there would be no horses, no trainers, no jockeys – and no magic on race day. They keep the heartbeat of our countryside sport alive.”

Emily’s colours are carried to victory by daughter Tash and Supremely Lucky at scenic Duncombe Park, (Tom Milburn)

We look forward to seeing how each fixture invests their grant and implements their plans to maintain their meeting and enhance the experience for owners, riders and all participants.
