The BE Sport Committee have had a completely fresh look and done a detailed study of when and where classes from CCI**** down to and including Intermediate are currently scheduled. Novice, Pre Novice and Intro classes will be studied in a similar way on a regional basis.
Supply and demand have been examined in each part of the UK for each month in the year. With the help of ERA (UK), a representative from the BEOA and the Performance Manager (Yogi Breisner) an ideal world scenario has been developed. Clearly if the optimum type and number of classes for competitors at each level is scheduled throughout the country in the appropriate months then both competitors and organisers alike will benefit from sufficient full classes.
On the 15th December 2006, Mike Etherington Smiths new Sport Committee consisting of Yogi Breisner, the 4 Regional Directors, Nick Gauntlett, and Stuart Buntine (Nick Burd was unable to attend) were joined by Peter Durrant (CEO), Alex Fox (Board member) and Diana Bown (Chairman of the BEOA and Board member). The Committee examined the study of the existing calendar in depth and recommended that to create an ideal world scenario the following was needed :
- An additional CIC*** in the spring of 2008
- An additional CIC** in the North or Midlands towards the end of the 2008 season.
- An additional advanced class in September/ October 2008
- Sufficient Intermediate classes are scheduled. However, there are some Regional issues that need to be addressed for 2008.
- A 7yo class added to the Breeding Championship by 2009
- There will be a final trial for those wishing to compete at Le Lion in 2007 to avoid the problems experienced in 2006
During the next few months, Regional Directors will be discussing these additions with organisers to try to match the demands of competitors with the wishes and needs of the organisers to provide the best possible scenario for the British Eventing membership including preparing our future stars for London 2012.
