Despite every effort made by the newly formed Area Hunt Club Committee, the start of the west Wales point-to-point at Lydstep was called off.

Weather conditions were worse than predicted, as the coastal course at Lydstep left officials with no option.

Horse welfare and the safety of jockeys and race goers is always paramount.

Despite escaping snow showers on Friday, temperatures fell below predicted forecasts leaving frozen patches on the course.

The meeting, weather permitting, will go ahead this Sunday, January 10th. Entries will stand and the first race will again be off at 11.30am. For further information, contact secretary Christine Toy on 07545 994729.
