Judged today at this new show and thought that it was a very good venue. A good sized arena with fabulous WHP jumps. Some super challenging courses. I hope they put some more shows on in the future and they are well supported. There were some super ponies and very polite riders. A very pleasurable day...... even though it was cold!!!

I understand there are some big and exciting plans mapped out for this venue Very good motorway access, good arenas, acres and acres of space for BIG shows, stabling etc etc Requires a lot of work yet but that is going on all the time

Very good venue, had a great time, both indoors large and very well lit, surfaces fab and the outdoor arena huge for warm up in the morning. Loved the coffee lounge, you could get warm on leather sofas whilst watching the flat arena and keep an eye on the whp arena which was broadcast on the telly. We loved it

mf,
The schedule was easy to find and download from their website. We only found out about the show two weeks ago but all the info we needed was available on the web.
Pity you missed it. Really hope they have regular shows there. Its so accessable.

I enquired last month when planning this year's fixtures list - nothing on website then and was emailed back by a gentleman who didn't know when schedules were going to be available so i sent an sae instead but no reply sadly. I will try again if they have any more but hoped an sae would have had the desired result rather than having to check websites weekly.

Went yesterday, the prospects for what the venue could become are exciting but organization let it down a little. The parking was an issue but if it had been marshalled they would have fitted cars, lorries etc in a bit better, one poor lady reversed into the cafe sign. Cafe did not have a list or board saying what they were offering and then if you wanted to watch in the gallery you have to take your food with you of miss the exiting competition. Warming up and collecting in the WHP ring was a little hairy at times needed a bit or organization. 'But at the end of the day, when all is said and done', had a nice day will go again.

We had a great day. I believe it was the first day for the cafe so no menu just yet!
Spoke to the Manager's mum today (I left my handbag there!) and she told me they are going to double the car parking and properly surface. Also plans for a permanent toilet block.
She was very helpful and asked for any feedback. She even said that they think that all arenas should have been available all day.
They are happy to receive any feedback, which was lovely!!!

Was this show advertised on the actual Polo Club website or somewhere else? Would love to go along if they have any more.
