MESSAGE FROM THE COMMITTEE

The Committee would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Cheltenham Show 2010.

This year's Show will follow the same format as last year (which everyone seemed to enjoy) and will include Driving, Showing, Unaffiliated Showjumping and Gymkhana and this year there will be a small Fun Dog Show in the Gymkhana Ring in the morning.

We always need more volunteers to help and would welcome any offer of help or sponsorship, however small or large. We do not expect everyone who contacts us to join the Committee but we do need more help setting up and on the Show Day. Finally many thanks to all volunteers without whose help the Show could not run and to all Competitors who continue to support the Show. Finally a very big thank you to all our Sponsors together with the management and staff at Cheltenham Racecourse.
