It is so difficult, i got balloted from Milton Keynes and now this one too. It is not like it is a local local event and i can just pop up there and help out the day before or anything either....or do my dressage etc the day before.
I don't want to sound like i am moaning but i have been planning since July and it the only way for me to get motivated at the moment it to have somethign to work and plan for- and now it means i definatly won't be doing any BE until a months time and there is no gurantee at all that i would get in there either!
ring Tina up or email her and offer to help on the other day. (or i'll try for you if you want, i'm going to fence judge again i think!) got to be worth a try.
EA isn't the best place for a large number of events is it?!
Need a campaign to bring back Somerleyton... and Ickworth... and others that don't run any more!
You don't have to help at the event you are entering... as long as you help somewhere BE you can put that on your entries. Eg help at somewhere early in the season next year (Poplar? Gt Witch? ) and then put that on your form for the rest of your entries.
Kerilli- i can not really help another day there it is such a long drive for us by the time i pay for fuel up there it is not really worth it!
Next year i will see if i can help at poplar and gt witch, but i will be a full member so can use stickers next year which will be better
I wish they still ran Somerleyton- that would be lovely and close!
I have looked what else is on that day and there is quite a few nice things on so if i look at it positivly i can think to myself a bit more time for preparation!
Now deciding whether to enter Keysoe or Oasby/Holdenby.
What is the intro like at Keysoe? I will have a look on EWW in a minute.
