CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
The Novice Winter Championships (28-29 March), Intermediate Winter Championships (24-26 April), FOTH Championships (30-31 May) and Horse Trials Championships (7-9 August) and associated qualifiers have been cancelled. This is to support the government’s most recent advice on social distancing, reducing pressures on the NHS and the care of vulnerable individuals.
At this time (March 17th) it is not known if the later championships (e.g. Lincoln) will go ahead. The date of 11th July for the Dressage & Riding Test qualifiers will remain in the diary but will be reviewed in June. A later date could be found for the Show Jumping qualifier should the situation have improved such that the Lincoln championships were going to take place.
The next Area meeting which was scheduled for 20th April will not take place, instead there will be email discussion about issues as they arise over the forthcoming weeks. Please would clubs ensure that the Area Secretary has up to date contact details.
Congratulations to Caroline May who is this year’s winner of the Molly Abraham Trophy in recognition of her help in organising events for both her club and the Area.
The Foss Trophy for points for team performance throughout the winter 2018/summer 2019 season was won by Elstead, with Newlands Corner the runner up, just two points ahead of Chipstead in third place.
Grass roots training bids – clubs wishing to bid must send details of the proposed training to Cathy by 1st March.
London & South East Championships rules for 2020 can be found on the What’s On page. New for 2020 is a novice combined training competition (prelim dressage and 70cm SJ) which has replaced the riding test – qualifier date to be confirmed.
