2010 is once again a difficult time for all of us, including our Sponsors and
Advertisers, but while some of our more substantial Sponsors have fallen along the
wayside, a consequence of the credit crunch/recession or whatever "terminology",
we have managed to garner some new ones who have been willing to support us
with smaller donations for which we are very grateful. The Show’s format this year
will be similar to last year with no Affiliated Show Jumping. The Schedule will shortly
be ready for download and hard copies will be sent out to anyone unable to
access our Web Site facilities. In addition, this year there will be a small ‘Fun Dog
Show’ in the Gymkhana Ring in the morning; so whether bringing along a Horse, Dog
or both, we will be very pleased to see ALL. Once again if anyone feels they would
like to become a Sponsor of a Class and details posted to our Web Site or/and if
anyone would like to like to give their time and help, either with setting up for or on
the day of the Show the please email me: jill@forddriving.force9.co.uk or telephone
01452 - 527031. Generous comments were made about last year’s Show, in that
those who came to compete or spectate thoroughly enjoyed the day; some
Competitors have now become Sponsors. We are all desperate for this Show to
continue and are sure, with the help of all Horse lovers here in the County of
Gloucestershire and those further afield, of being able to sustain the momentum not
only for this year, but in the future, with perhaps returning to a more substantial and
varied Schedule of Events. Best wishes, Jill Ford, Cheltenham Show 2010.
