They are not doing BD competitions at the moment.

Just had our entries returned with a note saying that they are not doing any BD compeitions until further notice. We had entries returned last year after we planned to do a two-day show there as well

I have a feeling this may have already been done but our internet is down at home so think I may have missed the post. Apologies if I'm going over old ground but if someone could shed some light or direct me to an old post I would be very grateful.

Seems such a shame not to take advantage of their lovely facilities!
 
They won't be running any dressage at all from now on and I don't think they are running their eve unaff SJ'ing either. I think they are just going for the big SJ'ing shows now or if other clubs want to hire the place out.
Apparently it isn't worth their while to hold BD there as they weren't making enough money for their liking... I've been there when they had 4 arena's running all day long so I think they are just being greedy.
Plus i think BD were getting p'ed off with them anyway because they kept submitting all the wrong results!!
 
That makes sense. Never got a test sheet from a show they held in Nov (when I had enclosed an SAE) AND they haven't submitted any results to BD for the combined training they held-grr.
 
Does feel sometimes that us dressage people get a bum deal with some of the nicest venues only doing jumping!

I did wonder if it was something to do with them not being allowed to run a regional or area or something similar and therefore jacking the dressage in out of spite!
 
There is a new uber efficient manager in at the moment and she is concentrating on cutting out the dead wood and turning things round to make the centre pay.
I am reliably informed that she will restart the dressage but has a lot on her plate atm. Fingers crossed it won't be too long as I like the venue too.
