Eglinton Team
Show Jumping
19th November 2006
At Rowallan Activity Centre, Fenwick
- Many thanks to everyone who helped run the event at Rowallan - some of our helpers were there all day! (over 13 hours!).
- Also a big well done to everyone who came and competed - and we were sorry to here about Argyll South - who couldn't make it due to the weather conditions.

Your Views:
Following having to ballot teams for this competition - we would like to hear your views on how to improve the competition for next year:
- First some information about it -
- Rowallan with it's huge arena takes longer per competitor.
- We had just under 70 teams who tried to enter this competition!
- We had to limit the teams entered to 48.
- We did not accept very late entries and only allowed clubs to enter 1 team per class, other than our own Eglinton members.
- We started at 8.30am with the Pre-Novice, and aimed to finish around 9.30pm.
- Should the Dengie class be removed and run on another day?
(saves 2 hours and would have allowed nearly all teams entered to come) - Should 2 courses of fences be set up in the arena (possible in Rowallan), competitors then jump one round then straight into the next? (this could save us up to 3 hours and allow most teams to come that entered + Dengie, but 2 courses to learn and if problems in first round does not allow you to go out and practice for second round)
- Should the competition be run the same way and teams ballotted?
- Should the jumping be held on a Saturday - so for competitors running later there is not school the next day?
- Or do you have any other suggestions?
