Ok so here goes my evening of thank you's! ......we had a really good weekend of jumping AND socialising at our very generous sponsor Jane Gregory's Chard Equestrian Centre.

Her fabulous facilities get better and better. The horses appreciate that lovely school and surface, the riders appreciate such a competitor friendly office and the club house is the icing on the cake. Good food and a clean and comfortable place to watch - and I think saturdays evening's bingo just topped it off!

Thank you to our small squad of volunteers who helped it all to run so well.

Emily Smart, Harriet Tutt, Jess Browning and Lucy Pickles in the arena and Lindsay Opperman and Louise Pickles on the board, and the two people without whom this show would not have happened -

Alison Tutt, who has put in sooo much time taking names for teams, getting prizes and rosettes and generally keeping us all up to speed with what needed doing (on top of the HOURS she spends organising our very busy training schedule) and

Katie Smith our very own bingo calling area Rep, who puts in hours and hours of unpaid time, keeping the area running smoothly. I don't think people realise just how much she does behind the scenes. Our area would be a lesser place without her.

Lots of people have already said a lot of this but I felt it only right that I did too!!

Lastly thanks to all the riders and their families for making it all happen and worthwhile running again next year..... watch this space!!
