That's it folks, we are now full and over our ideal number of entries.... Although you can enter for November event ( hint hint)

Although someone's unimpressed, I'm rather impressed that with just shy of a month to go, we're already 50% full for our first event of the season. Need to get your entries in if you want to be there

ENTRIES,
Entries, entries, entries...
Putting your groom as a emergency contact is absolutely useless, and this applies to indoor and outdoor events. In the event of a serious accident, me calling the person laid in hospital beside you is of no use. It needs to be someone who can make decisions for you and your equines on your behalf. Blunt but to the point I hope.

The notes section is there on the entry form, please use it to inform me of any requirements no matter how long you've competed at the club. The main request is always for later start times, so please keep it realistic guys.

Ahhh nice to be back to my grumpy self 😂

Well guys, the wheels have been turning slowly in the background and gathering speed towards our first event of the season. I've spoken with the following people who are all fit, healthy (for our age) and have committed to yet another season. And their main roles are;

Linda & Hazel- P&P judges
Nichola- scorer
Hazel & Karen - OBS
Andrew - course designer/cones judge
Jon - first aider/treasure
Sid (myself) - tea boy

Thanks guys, you know how much your support and commitment means.

The glorious 1st, no not grouse season just yet but indoors season.... Entries are now open for this coming season. Don't forget, first come first served with all your diva requirements (later start times/groom sharing etc). It seems to be the fairest way.
Thanks folks

So folks, a few people have put my name forwards for a award. And although I wouldn't normally do this but it does help to get more recognition for our club.
If you get the chance within the next few days please vote ( preferably for me)
Thanks
