2011 Members Show Point System
New for the 2011 is a points based system for full (yearly) members. The aim of the points system is to reward members who support the club by attending more shows during the season.
During the season a prize fund will be created to provide for the following groups;-
Best un-mounted (e.g. In-hand), Best mounted (e.g. Ridden, Show Jumping, Working Hunter) Adult (17 onwards), Junior (11 to 16) and Mini (10 and under).
Points will be gained by being placed 1st to 6th (6 points 1st, 5 points 2nd, 4 points 3rd, 3 points 4th, 2 points 5th, 1 point 6th).
Members should confirm with the class judge that the judge has correctly recorded their points against their name. It is not possible to make corrections after a show.
Full details of the prize fund will be listed on the club website after the first show. Day members do not gain points.
Members must attend the Show on the 11th September to collect prizes based on points. Prizes not collected at this show will be deemed forfeited (you don’t have to enter to collect a prize on the 11th September, just attend and support the show).
