Well I think the bad press NPS have had must be past news now because the Phoenix Rose from the ashes and the 2 day festival was a great success. Fabulous venue, lovely atmosphere, didn't hear a gripe or moan all the time. Hope things continue to progress onward and upward because it is, when it works, a great society .

we didn't go this year for various reasons, but I am very pleased to hear lots of positive comments about it.

After jumping in the mud last year at Malvern we said we would never go to the spring festival again, we were delighted to hear of the change of venue & decided to go to addington, we were not at all disappointed, had a lovely day on Saturday the worker course was brilliant welldone NPS although it was a rather late finish we thoroughly enjoyed the new venue, excellent facilities hopefully it will be a permanent move  |

Thank you to the organisers, judges and stewards it was the friendliest and nicest championship show we've been to for a long time. My daughter had to withdraw from her 3 finals but she recieved her finalist rossettes for which she was so grateful.
Everyone was helpful and I saw classes being held to allow riders to compete if there was a ring clash.
Only slight moan was the no lunging rule but thats an Addinton not NPS decision. 10/10 !!!!

Having stewarded Friday I can agree with all of the above. Lovely atmosphere, stunning venue, efficient staffing and great competitors as usual. Well done NPS onward and upward.

Our first time at spring fest, although we missed one of our classes we had no moans or grubbles, and really enjoyed our stay, and such lovely friendly staff! Huge stables that the ponies were very comfortable in! Will definately be going again and as it has been said above let's hope the same atmosphere and excellent running goes on to the summer champs! I'm glad we renewed our membership!

I wish summer champs were at addington too. Three co show ground is a mess after last year and seems no urgency to get it back right. The rings for PUK west mids were a disgrace I felt sorry them.

Plus there is the luxury of hook up and the indoor arena for evening finals at Addington!
