Leading outdoor clothing and equipment retailer, Mountain Warehouse, will be the title sponsor of the international point-to-point meeting at Chaddesley Corbett on Monday 25th May 2015. The Mountain Warehouse Anglo Irish Challenge will see teams from Great Britain and Ireland competing head-to-head for the third year.
Having been hosted in Ireland for the past two years, this year’s competition moves to Worcestershire as part of the Albrighton and Woodland Hunt South’s annual Bank Holiday point-to-point meeting. In a historic first, Irish riders will compete in Britain using riders’ certificates gained in Ireland.
Mrs Diana Williams, Chairman of the Albrighton and Woodland Hunt South Point-to-Point Committee, said: “We’re delighted to have Mountain Warehouse on board as we welcome competitors and guests from Ireland to Chaddesley Corbett. It promises to be one of the highlights of the season.”
The founder and Chief Executive of Mountain Warehouse, Mr Mark Neale said: “With stores in Britain and Ireland selling the very best outdoor wear for all the family, this is a great opportunity for us to reach and support the communities we serve. We’re really looking forward to a great day’s racing.”
The event will also feature the final fixture of the AGA All Comers Championship and an AGA sponsored challenge race, thanks to support from the AGA Rangemaster Group. Tattersalls Ireland will return as a feature race sponsor, having supported the event in Ireland for the previous two seasons.
Other sponsors include David Dennis Racing, Bissell Wood Equestrian, Henry Oliver Racing, The Jockey Club, The Four Counties Point-to-Point Pitch Committee, Nicol & Co, Simon Wall and Paul Nicholls.
Mrs Diana Williams said: “The Committee is extremely grateful and proud to benefit from the support of such prestigious sponsors. They join our highly valued group of supporters and volunteers who help us to maintain the success of our events for competitors and racegoers.”
