Just read the above link. Looks like good news. There used to be both a team chase course and BE event in Ston Easton many years ago. Does anyone know if either of these are the site for the new course?

Can't wait, it'll be 20 mins for us!!!

has anyone got any ideas as to how long it'll be before it's up and running ?? - it sounds like it will be more or less on my horse's doorstep!

Brilliant news - thanks for that! Don't know the answer to your question about location I'm afraid.

Its not at Ston Easton, more towards the Cheese place. Instead of turning into Ston Easton you carry on along the Wells Road.

Here are the plans for it. Also the business case.

They are looking to run 2 BE events a year, starting at 80cm to PN then adding a 1.10 course in the 3rd year. They are also going to run unaffliated.

That is exciting news, although not local (nothing is for me) it's within a sensible drive

Thanks deiseldog for the link. I know where you mean now. I think there are a couple of rustic fences around there at the mo. Should be quite a flat course up on the top there. Hope it won't take too long.

Fab that there's going to be a new local venue, I think they said hoping to be open in the spring, anyone have anymore info?
