The XC course is open bet 2 and 6 on Sat the 14th April but as we are not starting until 10am walking it on the day should be easy as we should be encouraging all to come to Ledston Eq Centre for the Tori Peter/Antonio do Vale lecture demo which is FREE to everybody. After every section there is a 10 min SJ course walk opportunity.

The following clubs need to provide 2 x FJ’s:-

If you can please tell them that the briefing will take place at 0915hrs in the indoor school and that they need to bring PENS with them. It is imperative that we start the briefing on time as we need them on the course by 0945hrs.

Dear NEC

Please find attached our latest BRC Spring 2012 ENews, we are in the process of forwarding this to all the BRC members that we currently hold email addresses for, but with our change over to a new website service provider the distribution of these emails is taking slightly longer than we had anticipated to email out to in excess of 25,000 members. Therefore I was hoping that you might be able to circulate the ENews to all your Club Chairs and Secretaries for inclusion on their websites.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

Best regardsMasterBRCSpring2012ENews

PLease find attached the times for the Competition Bishop Burton 2012

Attached are the times for the hunter trial, TIMES HT 2012 I have tried to put the local teams on 1st in the morning and then towards the end in the afternoon. I have kept the team members following one another so that their will be more of an amosphere between the team members.
The course will be open to walk between 2pm and 4pm on Sat the 17th March, there are electric gates that will be closed after this time so please make sure you warn your members.
The Intermediate teams are running first in the morning and the Novice in the afternoon, we are starting at 10am and the last on the course will be about 3.40pm. I do not expect the morning lot to hang about all day but if someone from the club could hang fire for the prize giving that would be great.
The previous directions will take them to Frickley Hall, Directions for the 2012 Hunter Trial at Frickley Hall once inside the grounds keep on the road until you come to a field on the right it will have a marquee in it. The start of the XC course is about a 15 min (max) walk away about 5 mins on the horse.

Finally I have sent the wrong speed out for the Int course…. it should be 475mpm, the novice is correct at 450mpm

Title: Area 4 Hunter Trials Team Qualifier
Location: Frickley Hall Nr Doncaster
Description: This is a NEW event for 2012 and is based on an old fashioned hunter trial.
The event is open to Teams only and will consist of 2 riders doing a 70cm course of xc fences and 2 riders doing a 80cm course.
• 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 £50 a team
• there will be 2 courses a novice and an intermediate.
• 2 members will do the novice course at 70cm and 2 members will do the intermediate course at 80cm.
• 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 and to be allocated after the closing date.
Attached are directions for the Hunter trial at Frickley. Directions for the 2012 Hunter Trial at Frickley Hall
Please heed Denise’s reminder that they are due in this Friday.
It would help me if you could let me know:-
• how many teams your club are putting in.
• which clubs want to put more than 3 teams in.
The scoring can be under any rules, our qualifier will run as follows:-
• optimum time (the speed for both sections is 450 mpm)
• Clear round wins – if there is a tie then the closest under opt time gets the place
• No knockdown fences
• No gate etc
• No timed section
The following scenario should help:-
Jann completes clear and is on the optimum time
Richard completes clear but is 5 seconds under
Denise takes a scenic route and is 5 seconds over but also clear
1st Jann
2nd Richard
3rd Denise
Then we repeat the process with those with penalties
Place everyone 1 – 40 (or whatever) in each section with 1 point for coming first, 2 second………..
best 3 scores count – team with lowest number of points win
A reminder about the declaration sheets please make sure that the point/money won column is completed, if they do not have any then put NIL in the box.
