Thank you M&M25 i have just made it over to the board!!

If anyone would like a schedule for this please let me know and i can pop one in the post/email to you.

We also have a Showing Clinic the weekend before this show with Julia Spacey Woods if this would be something that would interest people on here.

This is my first time running an NPS Qualifying show so any input will be gratefully received!

Thanks

i am coming to this show for workers and riddens would have loved a starter stakes nps qualifer class as not many places seem to hold them and i think if they are not supported we will lose them

[barmycharmy]

Thank you Forester. I will take note and if this one is a success will add more classes next time i organise one.

I wanted to keep it relatively simple for my first go

[forester]

definately up for another show

[ellanorenatives]

I'm sure we're already out on this date but if not we will try and come along, especially for the workers and yes we think that there needs to be more starter stake workers locally too, xx

[ghl]

Any chance of any bsps qualifiers, so few in the South East.

[barmycharmy]

GHL we havent looked into BSPS qualifiers but will look into it.

We have managed to secure some equifest qualifiers as well now.

The updated schedule can be downloaded from our website www.churchfarmservices.co.uk and there is also the chance to enter online and pay via paypal.

Just a quick update on this show.

We will now be hosting the SE Connemara Working Hunter Classes that they have had to cancel this weekend due to their venue change.

There will be additional qualifiers in each section of the workers for the highest placed connemara in the top 6 and will go forward to the final at NPS in the novice intermediate and open workers.

So not only do our internediate and open workers have NPS and equifest qualifiers but also Connie qualifiers too!!

I hope that this helps encourage some more entries!!

[tangerine]

Please don't worry about your pre entries, we are all guilty of entering on the day, heart failure for the secretary but more money in the coffers. I will defo be there x

[barmycharmy]

Thank you Tangerine I am beginning to have heart failure. I know a lot of pre entries tend to come in the week before but it would be nice to have some more. ha ha.

[forester]

so are you also holding there starter stakes Qualifer too?As i have entered this class at the SE connie show

[barmycharmy]

No unfortunately not just the novice, intermediate and open workers. I would love to add the starter stakes in but am just a bit time cautious.

[barmycharmy]

Hopefully this will be my last update on this show.

I would like to let people know that i have had to make some changes to the judges after having not one but two judges let me down at this late stage.

Our workers classes will all be judged by Mr M Saunders and Mrs Stevenson will be judging all classes in Ring Two.

The ground has held up fantastically in this weather we have had and being on chalk downland means it drains well too. So we are very positive that you wont need to be towed in or out of the showground.

I am hoping to run the workers on grass but if the ground deteriorates we will hold them in our 30x60 sandschool.

Hope to see you next Sunday (feel free to come and say hello i'll be the stressed looking one!)

[forester]

im coming i will get round to entering!

[moomin]

We're taking four up I think

[barmycharmy]

Brilliant thanks guys!

[ellanorenatives]

Will you be putting pre entries up at all? X

[barmycharmy]

What do you mean?? Sorry I dont show so need some help with this bit.

[haggismarmite]

She means will you have a list on your website of how many people have pre entered for each class barmycharmy.

Hope we can come but if not then would definitely try next time, would love to have some novice workers and Jr classes!

[barmycharmy]

Thank you HaggisMarmite

I hadnt realised that this is the done thing. I can do i suppose i wouldnt be able to until Thursday night though?

Can i ask why this is done?

[tangerine]

Just so exhibitors have a rough idea of what time their classes may start. Sadly it is never accurate because, like me, so many enter on the day and the numbers are then useless. I will be entering 4 classes and are really looking forward to it.

[barmycharmy]

Thanks Tangerine
