PPA: The plan for early racing sees us starting on the weekend 24-25 October with meetings at Ottery St Mary and Maisemore on consecutive days.

A final decision will only be made by the PPA Board in mid to late July when we expect to have more clarity of the situation and the government approach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BRITISH POINT-TO-POINTING SHUT DOWN FOR 2019/20 SEASON – PPA

This is a formal announcement to confirm that the British point-to-point season is closed for this season.

This was a very difficult decision to make recognising that many people’s livelihoods are involved. However, the Prime Minister’s words last night made clear that everyone should minimise social contact and non-essential travel. Furthermore, our sport creates some medical burden, both on the course and potentially at the hospitals, where it would be unwelcome under the current circumstances.

The PPA would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has worked so hard to keep this season going so successfully until now, often under very trying circumstances. We will now be working on preparations to ensure that we start next autumn in the same successful manner as last, and will soon be in touch with many of you for your thoughts and ideas.

For more information, contact the PPA office:
