WEDNEDSAY 3RD MARCH  
Hi
I have been reading the Summer Championship notes on the web site, and must say looks very interesting cant wait to see the full schedule, and getting excited already. However, one sour note, it was controversial so why are you still charging for car parking and are you going to charge for admission for the evenings		 Thanks for the email
We all feel that the car parking charge for non competitors is quite fair, and they should provide some revenue to the Championships.
Lets be honest, they come onto the showground, which we have to rent from the college, they can use the facilities which we hire, ie the toilets, and can also have the use of the services provided (god forbid) of the first aid responders who we hire. Now why should they have these free when you the competitor pays for this within your entry & first aid fees. Many just come to watch, they are not supporting anyone in particular, and we think that paying something like £5 for the day or with a season ticket approx £3 per day is not bad value.
The evening tickets are again for the same reason, but for 2010, competitors and their immediate families will be given wrist bands, and again only those who come to watch and to enjoy will have to pay
I hope that clears up these two old chestnuts for this year
 
   
It was our first time at the championships last weekend and as the 
parent of a competitor Id just like to congratulate you on a really 
well run and enjoyable event. A masterpiece of organisation which 
meant no stress. Thanks for all the hard work that must have gone into 
it.		  
   
Just to thank you for the great weekend we had. We had never been to your centre before and my girls really enjoyed themselves on the Saturday. Thank you to your very helpful staff both on the day and before while I was booking the classes.
 
I did not manage to see the photographer before I went, I had frozen at this point, so if you had a contact email address or website that would be great.
 
Thanks again and hope to see you all again. 		  
   
Hi Brian and team
  
Thanks for a lovely day all seemed to run smoothly, looking forwards to the summer champs.		  
   

Hi Pat,

Just a quick email to say thank you for the wonderful day on Sunday. My daughter had a fantastic day winning the championship in the Welsh A/B and standing reserve champion in the small breed M and M.

She was so proud of winning her first trophy- it was the best mothers day present I could have asked for. Lauren is only 8 and to compete and successfully show against adults make us extremely proud of her.

Two years ago Lauren fell off Danny during a lesson and broke her shoulder-she wouldn’t even touch him for three months and didn’t ride him for 7 months.

Even though she didn’t get placed in the overall championship we were extremely proud to see Lauren and her much loved family pony walking around the large indoor school with a grin from ear to ear.

Once again many thanks, hope to see you in August.!!!!!!
