Club news – June & July 2010
What a sizzling start to the showing season on 23rd May! Attendance at the first show of the season was fantastic helped along by the weather of course. The 1st show cross day was also a great success with the new XC jumps arriving in the nick of time. For June we have dressage and the June championship show and July sees the start of the Thursday evening show jumping, more show cross and the July championship show. So lots to prepare for with a new batch of clinics – but remember book early to avoid disappointment…
