Seems I'm the only one who actually put pen to paper!!!!
But guess as we are borderline re staying with showing I wasn't as scared as the rest of you re the consequences!!!
But I do feel a bit miffed That NO-ONE else actually formerly complained

Very few people use their real name anyway so why not just put the two shows up and let everybody vote.

Northleach "victim" would like to tell all of you that the lady in question is extremely valuable on the NPS Council and has stood up for all of you lot far more than you could possibly imagine over the countless issues that have been raised on this site regarding OTHER naughty Council members.
They would love to see her evicted but although she may not be your cup of tea as a steward she is a fair, just, realistic, practical and down to earth NPS Council member and she has put a few very naughty people there in their place many a time very politelyu and without wasting words. She has done you proud.

Who are you talking about? This person is not on the NPS council yet and I for one hope she never is.

There have been other official complaints about Northleach, but they refuse to deal with them.

There have been countless complaints about Northleach over the years but certain people on the NPS will not listen.

Who are you talking about? This person is not on the NPS council yet and I for one hope she never is. They has been a Council member and chaired & sat on the show committee for many years. Agree with Another Day that she was one who spoke up against NPS show issues that have been discussed in length on this site. She indeed ruffled a few feathers amongst the M5 pack ;D and refused to allow them to continue to have more power than they had. If it wasn't for her and a few more strong talking individuals then some of the recent changes that have come about within the NPS to promote fair play for all may never have come about. Nobody is perefect but some have worked very hard for our benefit. If all of you have done as much for societies, still assist at grass roots level and Pony club, breed some of the best in the world then complain but until then you have much to learn.

Me thinks it the pot calling the kettle black
If she is so virtuous why isn't she whiter than white?
Or is it a case of do as I say, not as I do?
If she cared that much she would resign from Northleach Show committe? after all us Brits like & support the underdog NOT the arrogant

How can anyone say its fair - does no-one remember the fiasco when she judged at Wincanton and caused them to lose their qualifier - when it was totally the judges at fault and they were not reprimanded whatsoever.

Others have done wrong too like accidently entering ponies in things where they are judging championships. Forgot to use the marks....be assured she's not the only one to have done that... Forgotten to sign cards..... Not turned their phone off.... Dropped their petticoat in the ring.... winked at the boys......and girls..... Must be an AGE thing!!!! ;D ;D

I hope you are all aware that someone who has a personal grudge against both Northleach Show and RPS is using this site to stir up trouble. Yes, there are lots of us who are not happy with what went on last year - but - there is nothing we can do to change it now. We can all be on our guard in future but nothing is to be gained from chewing the past over again and again. I vote we let this thread die now and look forward to next year - whether we show again at Northleach or not.

This thread is getting too personal, therefore some of the posts have been modified.
An new tactic. Anyone putting a post on this thread that is NOT a MEMBER of the site will have their post deleted.

Well done Gerttrude - it will stop people being beastly anonymously.

We've discussed this thread as mods, and agreed that it's not really serving any purpose now except providing people an opportunity to have a dig at one person. That's not what the thread was originally about, so after tonight the thread will be closed.
That doesn't mean you have a free for all for the rest of the night; we will still delete any offensive posts.

Somebody has friends in high places. If that's a dig at the mods, I can assure you that is not the case. I don't have a welsh pony and don't show down south, so have no reason to befriend the person being slagged off. I just think people have now had their say and there is no use just keeping on and on about it.

What happened to freedom of speech? Maybe the members and guests have finished with the subject if so it will drop off the page.

HG is all for people being able to speak their minds, but we can't be party to what is becoming a personal vendetta with posts from one or two individuals using different guest names.

Here, here. I suggested it was dropped - and I don't have any friends in high places - I don't know any of the moderators. I have never ever been on this site under any other name than Fetherson - and if anyone does much showing they will soon know who I am - the name is on the side of my lorry but for those of you who don't know, my name is Jenny Morgan . I was the steward who was supposed to steward the class which has caused so much controvery and who was sent home after being told I was not needed. I have had hate mail, threats on email and telephone calls from various people who believe that I stepped aside to let whatever happened ( and no-one can say for sure). I did not and I am fed up being treated so badly and by people stirring up what should now be in the past for their own ends. Get real folks! Look forward to this year!!

Thanks Fetherston - and on that note, I think it's a suitable place to end this thread. Future problems can be discussed on a new thread.
