On a glorious autumn Sunday the mellifluous tones of the commentator could once more be heard amongst the pastures to the north of the village, announcing winners, losers and “dnfs” taking part in the annual Grafton Team Chase event. On a day of excellent going, villagers and those from further afield were well entertained by riders of all classes, with plenty of opportunities for refreshment. The ever present ambulance crews were fortunately not needed but the travelling blacksmith plied a busy trade. As can be seen in many of the pictures on the next page, dogs of all shapes and sizes were also everywhere to be seen.
