South & West Yorkshire Area Show Round Up
Monday 27 April 2015
BS AREA 16 show Monday 6th April. Venue: Northern Racing College, Doncaster.
The Sun was shining for us all on Easter Monday after the very unreliable weather leading up to the Bank Holiday weekend. Area 16 South & west Yorkshire committee were about to embark on their first area show in two years; and not only that, we were about to run the first ever para show jumping national class in England! Karen Bostock, Sarah Jo Gregory-Wicks, Alex Mcnamara, Sally Ann Kingsley, Clare Pope & Deena Webster. Clare Pope won the 70cms, Karen Bostock won the 80cms and Deena Webster won the 90cms all attended this groundbreaking event, some travelling over 3 hours. Well over 100 entries came forward for the amateur/professional classes during the day.
The Northern Racing College have had major restorations in the last 12 months including acquiring money through Sports England with the Inspired Facilities Award for a new indoor arena, surface, full set of BS standard show jumps plus Cross Country fences, this new facility is to include a new viewing area also and upgraded space for the site based RDA group. The committee want to thank Sarah Walker – Operations Coordinator at the college and all the students that came and helped during the show day.
There was also a first at the event with the BS club/unaffiliated classes. Penistone Agricultural show running on Saturday 12th September is hosting the Yorkshire area finals. Already 12 riders have qualified at 70cm and 80cm section. If there is any agricultural show running show jumping in the Yorkshire area please contact me, we have competitors looking now for another qualifying venue.
