ZETLAND Hunt pony club has booked three interesting local speakers for its forthcoming annual meeting.

The first is Mr Neville Turner, a Barnard Castle vet, author and photographer who has just had his photographs of Dales life published in a new book, as featured in last week's D&S Times.

He will be joined by Miss Nicola Tweddle, an exciting young event rider who represented Great Britain in Italy during 1998. A former Hurworth hunt member, she has also competed at Badminton and Burghley horse trials.

Miss Joanna Peat, a former Zetland hunt member who has been described as the club's own 'vet in practice' since she began veterinary training, will be the third speaker.

The meeting takes place at the Jersey Farm Hotel, Barnard Castle, at 6pm on Sunday, November 11
