A
WORD ABOUT VENUES |
||||||||||||||||
Thanks to
those who responded to our request for additional venues. We shall be
trialing different places and would still like to hear from anybody who
has or knows of an indoor arena that may be available. Contact Di Baker
or Linda. |
||||||||||||||||
We
are actively looking for different venues to complement those we already
use by kind permission of their owners. We’re aware that we have
a wide geographic area and that sometimes it is difficult for members
to get to the venues that we use regularly. If you know of any near you
that have good surfaces, easy access and parking for lorries and trailers,
indoor or outdoor facilities we’d like to hear from you. |

route. The fences are rustic and some in natural fence
lines and range from small logs to a couple of hedges and tiger
traps. All are optional and clearly marked. |

We also have a 5 mile dog
walk for those partners who may come as drivers and not wish to
ride! |
||||||||||||||||
We do our own catering and offer a delicious BBQ and home made cakes, plus a half way house selling cold drinks, chocolate and something stronger for those that feel like a tipple! |
