Massive congratulations to Abi Unwin and Lunar Vision who won in the Open 100+ at the BRC National Horse Trials Championships this weekend! Full report to follow shortly.
Please note the calendar listing for the Area Show Jumping has had a slightly incorrect address. The venue is Heatley Farm, Broomhall, Nantwich CW5 8BA.
Good luck to all our members competing!
BRC have released a further statement regarding the cancellation of the FOTH Championships earlier this year.
The chair of Area 20 has called an extraordinary meeting to discuss the recent use of social media regarding the cancellation of the FOTH Challenge. All members are welcome to attend. 8pm, Thursday 26th June, Faddiley Village Hall, Nantwich.
I have been reading on face book the comments made after the FOTH was abandoned and although I appreciate a lot of them were made out of frustration, I am also disappointed with the response from some of our members on a public forum.
Whilst I recognise the effort that everyone has gone through to qualify, to re schedule an event of this size could not be done easily. A venue would have to be located, the stabling, toilets, stands, marquees, all re booked, and of course, the most important factor, the giving up of more time from all the volunteers, who had already put aside that weekend to run the FOTH.
Andrew Chadwick has had to deal with a lot of negative comments and criticism, from area 20 members, all made within a short time of the announcement being made, with people expecting him to move the event to a new venue. As Chairperson, I don’t want to stop people expressing their views but please consider how the comments are viewed and the impact they can have on both BRC and our own club.
I am sorry that our teams have not had an opportunity to compete at the Championships this year, but please don’t let this dampen your spirits for teams this year.
Alison.
