Gareth Topham
I am 21 years old and have been commentating on point to point races for the last three years now pretty much all over the country.
I was fortunate enough to call at about 15 meetings last year including at Tweseldown twice and also on the racecourse at Hexham for a second time.
The long-term ambition is to make the racecourse and seeing as I am now in the last year of my university studies in Leeds, I am very keen to seek any opportunity if one happens to come along.
So if any secretaries are in need of a caller this coming season please do feel free to contact me on either,
