The PPA have today announced the appointment of William Easterby as an Independent Board member, replacing Fiona Needham whose six year tenure comes to an end this month.

Caroline Bailey, PPA Chair, said “We are delighted to have William join the board. As a rider, trainer, owner and Clerk of the Course he is very involved in all aspects of the sport. It is important to bring new views to the board and he will be an excellent  representative for point-to-pointing in the north”

William Easterby said “I’m really looking forward to being involved and giving something back to a sport that I love so much. Point-to-pointing means a great deal to me, and I’m keen to help ensure it continues to be enjoyed by more people. Ultimately, I want to help make pointing as good as it can be. One of its greatest strengths is the people involved – there are some fantastic characters within point-to-pointing, and sharing that while encouraging more people to get involved can only help the sport to grow and thrive for years to come.”

Paul Miller, PPA CEO added “I think the Board have made a great choice with William’s appointment. We had over 20 applications and some really good candidates in the mix, so he was up against some pretty strong competition. I think Wills experience in pointing, his passion for the sport and his desire to see it flourish in the future is exactly what’s needed. I’m really looking forward to working with him”

The PPA would like to thank all applicants for taking the time to apply and interview for the position.
