I left the Shrewsbury in favour of the Maelor RC! As one of my instructors at college was a member of the MRC, it seemed to make sense - they held a lot of comps & talks etc.... at college, so being a memeber with them paid for itself! They have a really good social scene too! Well, they DID 10yrs ago
Mmm trouble with Maelor these days (as I see it anyway) its is very cliquey, heavily into dressage whereas Shrewsbury seems to be more "friendly" and is not so focussed on dressage.
