The hunter trial on Sun 18th March at Frickley seems to have caused a few enqs with myself and HQ…… hopefully this will help you explain it to your members:-

• This is a new team of 4 competition for 2012.
• AREA 4 will not be doing direct entry to the final but will hold a qualifier where 3 teams will qualify.
• this was agreed by the committee at one of the area meetings last year.
• NO prelim fee is required.
• Although not set in concrete I am looking at £55 a team (will agree this at the next meeting).
• there will be 2 courses a novice and an intermediate.
• 2 members will do the novice course and 2 members will do the intermediate course.
• Teams can consist of any combination of junior or senior members i.e. 4 seniors, or 3 juniors and 1 senior, or 2 seniors and 2 juniors etc…….
• I think we can cope with 52 teams during the day so in the first instance I suggest that we limit the number of teams to 3 per club and then if space accept additional entries if we have space, on a 1st come 1st served basis (will agree this at the next meeting).

Thanks and cheers Richard.
