FEW of those who were present at the Garth Hunt point-to-point meeting of Tuesday in last week, were aware that Cecil Aldin had met with so bad an accident as he did. He was leading the field in one of the races on his horse, Oliver, when he fell at a timberjump and another horse landed on top of him. Mr Aldin was found that he had broken two ribs and sustained head injuries.

The present road is 25ft wide and the scheme is to take in a strip of the allotment and to have a road of similar width on the other side of the row of trees.
