21st September. If you look on BSJA website in the show dates (show areas, I think!) it comes up with all their dates and what classes they have on!

Thanks.
I have heard from one of the course builders that the owner doesn`t like show jumping and so he is going to charge £17 to enter a class!

Probably lose loads of regulars but I think that is the point.

I had heard that the prices were going up but certainly not that the owner didnt like showjumping! The centre owners have been there for years and as far as I know still have jumping horses of their own!!!

I was told that the new owners were only interested in the riding school side and didn`t like show jumping. There were a lot of shady goings on with relationships and it changed hands - sort of- So I heard from an insider.

the reason why it is starting so late is because the owners were late sorting the dates out and they clashed with weston lawns soo weston lawns objected to MEC running a show at the same time. so i believe its the last thurs in sept, then the first sunday is a junior show then it will be seniors!!

the old owners have the establishment back now and i think they like the showjumping part because surely they wouldnt ruin the shows if they didnt!!???
