Rally cancelled this Sunday!
I’m sorry everybody – but we have had to cancel our starting rally planned for this weekend (27.09.15) as the grounds are still very, very muddy and water logged:( The first rally will now be held on Sunday the 11th of October.
Hopefully after the school holidays the weather will have improved and and we can get the season started with a bang (or a whinny and a neigh rather than a quagmire!)
