IMPORTANT ANOUNCMENT UK SHOWINGHere we go again Yesterday morning we found out we would not be able to use any off the Grass or Fields at Bold Heath. So would only be enough parking for around 120 Horse boxes on the hard standing. Which means NO cars and Trailers. We have no choice but to move venue, Or cancel. We spent all day yesterday out and about looking for a new venue. We have settled on Warren Farm this is a super venue, with everything we could have asked for. Excellant rings, parking for everyone, camping, an enclosed field for stables, (so if one escapes from the stable it has no where to go) anyone who has booked stables can park close to them, campers are in a field next to stables with a gate directly into stables. Toilet and shower block, mobile toilets for Trailer field. EXCELLANT cafe and owners will put a bar on. OK indoor arena is not the best, but we will dress it and do the best we can for this year. There is limited seating in there but we will make some standing room also. The owners next project is the indoor arena, they plan to redo the arena adding a large seated gallery, so maybe next year we could have a super arena for the evening performance. We know some people will will not be happy, but we are doing our very best to please the majority. SO on that note : We have taken the decision also to OPEN THE SHOW UP to anyone who wishes to enter. THERE HAVE BEEN TO MANY CLUB SHOW CANCELLATIONS FOR PEOPLE TO QUALIFY.
Can anyone who has a real problem with OPENING THE SHOW please contact us; EMAIL,PHONE OR PM
Jeanette and Nikki UK Showing

God! I really feel for you organizers, what a nightmare but thank goodness warren farm were able to accommodate the show at such short notice. I really hope you get a good turnout, we won't be able to attend both days as originally planned but should be there on the Sunday, will have to just swap classes around a bit

As I said on the other thread better a move than no show at all hope everyone supports you and yes some will be disappointed it's now open but I think better to HAVE a show than see us lose this one too

Feel so sorry for the UK Showing team with all of this hassle! But you are doing a fantastic job with all of these problems happening only days before the show! I hope everyone will support you, I certainly will be!

Just had a phone call from uk showing, can I stress to everyone how Nicky and Jeanette are bending over backwards to try and accommodate everyone they can, they are obviously not going to please everybody however please look outside the box............ I totally agree with springtimes, if this show isn't opened up it may not run next year due to all the cancelled qualifiers (and I have qualified and sent entries off so it doesn't "favour" me ) I am sure we will all have a great day, big pat on the back to uk showing for not chucking the towel in ( I think I may have by now). See you all there x

I could'nt agree more with you! I think they have done brilliantly to keep the show from being cancelled! A lot would have given up by now!

Really great decision!! I think people will just be p'd off and it was just a bit shocking to begin with but it'll settle after a couple of days when people have thought about it. I think its great that you have opened it up so you get more support from us locals to ( I have already qualified also) Still really looking forward to the show and hope it will all settle down for the uk showing team! There is certainly a hell of alot more room at Warren Farm :-)

They have lots of room for rings on grass and they are big rings. As said previously the ground is excellent at warren so shpuldn't be muddy at all :-)

If safe you could wear a top hat if you wish but not every one does. Entries being taken on the day and I would give Uk showing a ring to ask about stables :-)

Well done UK Showing team for not giving up!!!! Warren farm is a fab venue, I take my little girl to their Mini show every March and they are lovely people. The grass rings are fab even at that time of the year so there should be no problems. Shame you have had to open the show up but much better that than no show at all!! Really looking forward to coming now that we can camp again and fantastic that we will be able to park next to the stables and camp next to them too.
We will see you bright and early on Saturday, Can't wait, lets hope that after all this the weather is kind to us!

Yes a different show have hired the venue nothing to do with bold heath it's self, surely the venue isn't going to turn down money if it's offered !!
