Downlands show tomorrow (Rhia) 10/12/2022 13:30:33 To all competitors in Novice, A, and especially B tomorrow - could I please ask you to aim to arrive earlier than you might have planned, based on the running orders, if at all possible... We have had quite a large number of withdrawals already, and due to the weather forecast, we are keen to keep the classes moving as efficiently as we can, to allow everyone to get away safely before it gets too freezing in the afternoon. Please be prepared to compete earlier than expected, whilst still sticking to running orders as closely as possible. It would be fab if we could aim for all ring work in class B to be completed before the lunch break 🤞 |

At least the weather was kind to us. After the threat of rain on Sunday, it turned out to be a lovely day. |
