i spoke to somerford this afternoon and they said as far as they knew it was going ahead but to ring back later? I agree about those huge hoys classes and hope if it does go ahead they do consider moving to the all weather surface if the rain continues...

Weather forecast is dire for this area today, I hope if they do postpone it they give us notice before I go out a fill the wagon with diesel, don't want to leave it sitting with a full tank and need showing supplies like make up etc which means me going out my way, can avoid doing both if its postponed

It would be nice to know sooner rather than later if they plan to cancel as we are planning on setting off later today and staying the two nights.
Maybe they could split the larger arena in two to accommodate more of the classes that were supposed to be on grass and re-open it back up for the HOY's classes?

Tbh, I'm not worried about the state of the rings, it's the parking I'm worried about! MUD BATH!

To be fair whenever we've been to somerford (including in heavy rain) the ground has never been boggy or slippy underfoot. We went to a show about 4 years ago, it rained sideways all day, my class was last in and the ground was ok Sent from my LT26i using ProBoards

What are the chances of the HOYS M&Ms being cancelled on the Sunday? I've got a friend travelling down from Scotland so it would be good to know sooner rather than later.

Really sorry everyone I cannot give firm answers re SUNDAY but by saving the rings/parking area on the main showground & with weather forecast improving for the weekend, it is hoped that Sunday will be OK. If/when I know more I will post here (will have access to a laptop tomorrow as well)

Refunds as per page 1 of the schedule.
Stabling is direct with Somerford I'm afraid & nothing to do with NCPA

ALL In Hand rings will be on the surface as you enter - the rings have not changed.
