THE agricultural and rural affairs department of Worcester's MFG Solicitors is hoping its sponsorship of point-to-point racing this spring will be a galloping success.

MFG sponsored the final jump at the recent Croome and west Warwickshire meeting at Upton-upon-Severn, and the south Shropshire meeting. The firm is also supporting the north Shropshire event at Eyton-upon-Severn, and the north Ledbury meet at Maisemore, both on Monday, May 7.

Iain Morrison, head of agriculture and rural affairs at MFG, said: "We were keen both to promote MFG Solicitors agricultural and rural affairs to a wider audience and point-to-point meetings are where the country and landowners meet to enjoy a day in the fresh air and some exciting racing."
