Celebrating the life of Tony Vaughan-France

We would like to advise our members and followers that a thanksgiving service to celebrate the life of Tony Vaughan-France will be held at St Peter & St Paul’s Church, North Curry, Taunton, Somerset TA3 6LJ on 9 September at 2.30pm.

Originally from Shropshire, Tony and his wife Ann had six children and it was one of their daughters who kicked off his involvement with British Showjumping in the 1970s, which lead to him being well known within the British Showjumping community as a course-builder, judge and also as commentator.

Tony sadly died on 9 May, aged 96 and is sadly missed by all those who knew him. Our thoughts are with his family and all connections.
