The main features
- With thanks to the National Trust, we were back again at Trelissick, with the start and finish in the stable yard.
- Again, thanks to the donations of local businesses, we ran a successful Prize Draw, with a dozen valuable prizes to be won, including a champagne tea in St Mawes (details here)

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, Atkins Ferrie, Chris Nicholls Motors, and Santander Bank, the day was a great success financially, with a profit of over £6,400 (for pictures of the Presentation Evening see the slideshow above)
