WHILE they rely heavily on the wonderful support of the Northern Region team of volunteers for their Hazeldene Farm one-day events, hosts Andrew (course designer under the mentorship of Adam Stevenson) and Laura (administration organiser) Napier can call on extended members of both their families to give them a hand as well.

A glance at last Saturday’s programme shows that Laura’s mother, Marian Turley, and her brother-in-law, David O’Connor (who won the EI90 on Marian’s home-bred Tullymurry Katie), dressed the fences in advance while Marian also looked after the hospitality on the day.
