We have just had our first show of the new year and what a turnout, 71 competitors. So I suggest you get your entries in early in future so as to ensure your place. The number of entries was fantastic but unfortunateley it made it a very long day, especially as we ran a little late. Sorry to all you riders who were on at the later end of the day but once the earlier tests start to run over it seemed impossible to pick up.

It was nice to see some new faces as well as the old regulars. Well done to all you prize winners, keep your eye on your points for the end of season trophies. Better luck next time to the rest of you, keep trying but most importantly keep enjoying it, and remember, even the professionals have bad days.

On a different note I would like to thank Mr Dean the caterer for his continued support and service he is extremely obliging so try and support him a little then he will keep coming. The judges and organisers really appreciate him.

Thanks also to Rachael Gordon and Sandra Baxter for their organisation and hard work on the actual day of the show also to Fran Dean for organising the Judges, and Sandra for organising the writers, all of which we would be lost without.
