16 February 2019Cooke Aquaculture Winter Woollies Show
http://www.orkneycommunities.co.uk/ridingclub/documents/2019-ww-entry.docx
Here is the Schedule and Entry form for our open Winter Woollies Show, which will be held on Saturday 16th March at Orkney Riding Centre.
We're very grateful to Cooke Aquaculture who is sponsoring the show for us again this year.
This is an Open show, which means non-club members are welcome to enter, so if there is anyone you think would like to take part then let them know. Both the Inhand and Ridden sections run indoors with the arena split, and we hope to have a spectator seating area in the arena.
You can enter as many classes as you are eligible for, although please read through the schedule to make sure you give us all the information we need on the entry form. The classes may NOT run in the order they are on the schedule, this will be decided once the entries are in, and ORC reserves the right to change, amalgamate or cancel any classes. We will post up a running order and the numbers in each class on our FB page before the show.
Can those who have trophies from last year please get them engraved and returned asap.
The kitchen will be fundraising for our Area 22 competitors, and all donations of food would be appreciated.
The day after the WW Show - Sunday 17th March - you will get the chance to do some jumping in the Charity Arena Events, this time for Motor Neurone Disease, and ORC is happy to be sponsoring the arena hire for this event.
