Just read this on NPS website 'The National Pony Society in conjunction with The British Horse Society are holding a Pre-season Clinic/Workshop on 2nd/3rd March 2013' ooh, interesting methinx til i click and find out it's in Hampshire ... many peeps here in the very strong showing area of the north feel that the NPS is run very much for the south and this backs it up (maybe this is where the NPS has gone wrong in the past?) .... please please please NPS will you consider the north of england when organising such events :/ The NPS are in a no-win situation. Where ever they held an event people would moan it was to far for them to go. I would love to have gone but it is to far from me but up north would be even futher away. Yes, but Hampshire  I mean, c'mon, rather extremely south dont you think ... what's wrong with centralising it say Solihull or thereabouts? or what's wrong with asking people their preferances with a vote on here and their website and going with the majority? Seems nothing's changed with NPS/not a clue .... they MUST change .. it aint rocket science :/ |

I would imagine it is because it is being held at the yard of a council member who is probably offering her services and that of her yard etc at a very reasonable price or even no charge. There are council members 'up north' and I don't doubt he/she will reciprocate later in the year. If we want the NPS to rise from the ashes we must stop being negative, stop looking for problems, unite with support, attend the AGM, use your vote carefully and hope that one day very soon we will see the NPS returning to it's former glory.

I have to agree with tangerine and say no matter where the clinic was arranged for, there would be members who are unhappy with the venue. Why not take up the mantle offered on FB and find someone up north willing to offer their premises for a similar clinic?

NPS Scotland have announced dates for 2 clinics (Perth and Invergordon respectively) and are also going to arrange an Ayrshire venue if there is enough demand.  |
