Norton Heath EC

Has anyone been to Norton Heath and could tell me what it's like? i.e. is it generally up to height, crowded etc?

I've been to Norton Heath, when I went on their Trailblazers 1st round day was very busy in the morning and it ran over. 75cm class in seniors had about 60 people in it and 85cm had about 40 so does get quite busy. Is a nice venue though, fences were up to height when I went but only been twice so not sure if always up to height!

Norton Heath: Good courses and nice facilities. Very well run shows. Seems tough to do well in Essex though.

Norton Heath - A nice venue but courses vary greatly depending on who is building. Indoors I would say the fences are spot on height-wise but outdoors they must use a different measuring stick because they always look over height to me!

Norton Heath - My fave, super courses, lovely bright wings and fillers, water trays, always VERY up to height BN is always like a Discovery when it is outside, and always good competition

Thanks both of you, just one more question - do you know if the outdoor jumping is on grass or on an outdoor surface?

 

[TiaPony]

It's on a surface as far as I am aware

It's on a surface, big fences (eek) so definitely up to height, smart jumps, well run and nice facilities but always crowded
