Morning all,

With more snow and deep freeze on the way we have taken the decision to POSTPONE!

The decision to postpone has been a difficult one to take (I think the last time was the dressage when we were flooded some years back) but now taken it is quite a relief.

We have also taken the decision that the combined training competition should be on a separate day if we can.

As soon as the dates and venues are sorted I will let you know, obviously what ever date is produced I am very aware that it will not suit all so apologies in advance.

I will obviously do my best for the majority of our members.

PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER THAT BISHOP BURTON IS OPEN AS USUAL FOR BUSINESS (please check their website for details of upcoming events)”Can I make it clear that we as a venue are open for business, we have a full day of dressage scheduled on saturday and will not have to make the decision to cancel that unless we have more snow (which may or may not happen). I am anxious that it is made clear that your cancelling Sunday is precautionary as the only areas we cannot currently use are the outdoor arenas.

I dont want people put off coming to Saturdays show or trying to book for Sunday because your show is off, as currently we are operating as normal and roads and car parks are all clear and gritted and indeed full of about 1,000 people for a farming open day that is on in the arena.

As a venue we are open for business and that we take risk assessment and safety very seriously and would immediatly cancel anything that presented a risk to horse, vehicle or human. We will keep our website updated as to the status of our events and opportunities to hire if anyone is in any doubt.” Kim Knightley Equine Director Bishop Burton College 01964 553087

Thanks and cheers Richard.
