Sponsors

We would also like to thank our 2020 Sponsors in the Schedule and let you know that we will carry your adverts over to 2021.

Memberships

2021 Memberships will be available in the coming weeks, when we see more of what is happening.

We would also like to thank the 42 members that joined and supported us in 2020. It was great to see your support, and although we would love you to continue to support with a new membership for 2021 (pretty please), we will also carry over your members from 2020 to this year to allow you benefit from the reduced entry fees for any events in 2021.

2021 Events

We will continue to review the year as it progress and if we cannot, due to restrictions run full shows, we will look at the potential to repeat 2020 with Field Ride Days, Show jumping and Working Hunter Competitions and also look to increase this with smaller show days for In-Hand or Ridden, if we can.

2021 Presentation / Party

We will also look, again subject to restrictions, to run a presentation / party in November/December this year, but we may need to look at a new location as The Elizabethan Suite in Bury, may be closing for good – if you would like to give your views to Bury Council on the potential closures of their Civic Centres, please fill in this questionnaire
