East Yorkshire Committee and Riders at the British Showjumping Annual Ball
Thursday 01 December 2011
What a surprise the Committee had when Hull Show was nominated by British Show jumping as Annual Show of the Year voted for by its members. Chairman Michael Bainbridge and family along with Sharon Cawood, Anne Fearnall and Lisa Topi attended the glittering Show Jumpers Awards Ball at the Hilton Hotel in Birmingham. To be nominated in the company of Hickstead and the final winner, Scope Festival was felt by all to be an honor in itself. But watch out for HULL SHOW NEXT YEAR in East Park on the 12th August with lots more attractions already in the pipeline.
The Long Term Achievement and Services to Showjumping Award was made amidst a standing ovation to John Lanni former owner of Area UK for his contribution and commitment to show jumping and a well respected figure in the horse world. Also making the trip to be presented with the Awards for Regional Points, Area 15A members Katie Benbow winner of the 70cm with The Juggernaught and the 80cm with Bofarnel Lottery and Dan Patrick and Hillgarth Riverdance winner of the 1metre section who made a quick turnaround returning from the Halloween Show at Arena UK the previous day with 5 wins to his credit and the Leading Rider Award.
With such a wealth of talent in our area and three excellent Equestrian Centers Port Royal EEC, Bishop Burton and Willerby Hill we are committed to encouraging the development of sport in the area.
