i rang them last year and asked why the dont have classes for m&ms and they said they that when they started the classes wernt well supported so they stopped holding them, think they will find that they'd be the most popular now!

Correct me if I am wrong - I am sure you will lol!!
I believe there will be no extra classes, but later starts and more 'entertainment' between sessions etc. Too late for extra qualifiers this year, but we can all dream for next year??!!!

Mmmmn, not doubting you, but I was led to believe that they were TOO popular and therefore dropped as they couldn't cope with the interest from the M&M brigade.  |

Thank goodness they are starting later! This is my holiday and I usually end up rushing around like a mad woman at 4 am!!!! Also I think to get to the finals and have 3 people sitting in the stands at that time of day is a bit of an insult but its only the diehards will turn out then!Perhaps this way the stands will be full for all the classes!

How/when will we find out which classes have been moved about, assuming thats what will happen if there are not many extra classes being put on, if they do move classes about what will happen if you have already ordered a ticket for a certain day hoping to watch a particular class?

Agree!! I work harder when I am holiday at shows than when I am work!! I was in the main ring show jumping and I think there were about 8 spectators! |

Wizz, have just looked at it and sad to say I think you are right . We are even earlier than usual. It is so hard to be there at that time in the morning when you have young children and are staying off the place and even worse for those travelling in to watch the classes. It looks like we are back to 3 people in the stands watching again!
Was so excited that 6 days was going to be easier however think its going to be harder!
