There are (by my maths) 115 that are classed as active at present, Grey, ranging in the number of fixtures they put on from one to seven. The remainder are: ALDINGTON ALNWICK ASPATRIA...

Right, here goes... RULES All 61 EXCEPT FOR Bath, Beverley, Brighton, Chester, Epsom, Great Leighs, Hamilton, Musselburgh, Newcastle, Newmarket Rowley, Nottingham, Salisbury, Yarmouth. Windsor has been visited as both a Flat and jumps venue, Wolverhampton as jumps only...

Patrick Smith was none too shabby on the same quirky animal at Cottenham yesterday - one half of the double which comprised the 17-year-old's first two winning rides in Points. It's a shame that the "So You Think You Know About Pointing?" quiz was discontinued in the Annual a few years back...

Largely my take on things as well, David. I imagine it's the visceral and visual impression given in his two wins so far which has taken Sprinter Sacre at least two points clear of Peddlers Cross, and four clear of Al Ferof, in most ante-post shows for the Arkle. Whether that's predicated...

Ah, I'm sure you remember the kitten posts from the Other Place, Clive? I trundled them out whenever things were getting too vicious and some gentleness was required. They last appeared on a thread regarding the whip debate, which quickly degenerated into the most bileous, personal...

Might be Shakespeare that he plagiarised and tried to pass off as his own. He's pathologically dishonest enough to try. :lol: gc

Heh-heh, noted! Hopefully see you there. Or, in the event of a rainstorm, probably smell you there. :lol: Dry-ish forecast for Saturday, which is what we all want. I just hope the heavy rain on the days before is as heavy as projected, as this is as quick-drying a course as exists in the...

Pfffttttt!!!! :D

Massive kudos to Gary Hanmer not just for getting his string ready and winning so early in the season, but for being prepared to travel to all corners of the country to find opportunities. Hanmer is based in Cheshire, yet following the loss of the Tanatside meeting at Eyton-on-Severn his...

At the request of Krizon, herewith a post copied and pasted from the Retirements and Memorials thread. Krizon asked originally what options there were for going Pointing in Sussex and neighbouring counties (e.g. Hampshire, Surrey and Kent). That would rule in all of the South East and...

Of the two of us Martin's yer man for that, definitely! He does the trips out to Ireland and has the much better steer on the form over there - I have to specialise on the British stuff necessarily. Apparently there is Pointing of a fashion in the US as well, but I don't think either of us...

LOL at wet husband! I'll be working at Cottenham on Saturday - look for a black-clad mess of hair, specs, waterproof clipboard and disappointment. Suspect Irish might be there as well - look for a sickeningly young thing with all his life still ahead of him. :lol: Jeremy (graysonscolumn)

My pleasure, Colin! Once heard never forgotten. Matthew is now a sales director and fireman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuGjPplByvY ...but is also as heavily involved with the Tiswas forum as anyone, being one of the moderators. Some of the footage of his singing on Youtube was...

How do, Following a chat with Irish Stamp and Krizon, and with a wish not to overload the Retirements and Memorials thread with too much stuff possibly only tangentially related, herewith a new thread for those who love, are interested in, or have any curious questions about, the action...

Annette Mills was the singer and pianist - sister of Sir John Mills (too many important films to mention), grandmother of Susie Blake (member of Victoria Wood's ensemble for years), auntie of Hayley Mills (Polyanna and stuff) and great-aunt of Crispian Mills (frontman of Kula Shaker). Verily...

Apologies in advance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elkCXVp_BqU :D gc

Oh yes indeed, Krizon! When ITV1 showed that Tiswas Reunited show back in 2007, pretty much all the members of the Cage that night were sourced from the pages of the tiswasonline.com forum. Twenty-nine years since the show was cancelled, the forum is still thriving with people reminiscing...

I'm sure he will! Beluga had to be put down in the aftermath of going wrong at Hackwood Park, "much to the owner's extreme annoyance", according to Mackenzie and Harris. That might infer he thought more could have been done to save Beluga, but I genuinely don't know the story there. Dead Or...

Your nearest Pointing venue is probably going to be Parham, then: http://www.pointtopoint.co.uk/go/courses/parham.html I've got tentative plans to do Parham and Hackwood Park (near Basingstoke) in successive days on the last weekend in March, but a few things depend on that yet. I can't vouch...
