SPOTTED 

Jake Hartley 1st place, new member Daisy Hunt 2nd place class 1 at Bath RC two phase event.  This was a round of show jumps, straight in to the xc course and then straight in to another round of show jumps, the winner is the one with the least penalties and then the fastest time.  Quite a challenge but lots of fun too.  Very well done both of you, keep up the good work.  Please send us a photo if you get chance! 

Hannah Francis won her SJ class at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.  Another fantastic result Hannah!

If you and your pony have achieved something recently, no matter how small a thing it might be, if its special to you please let us know and send an e-mail to wylyevalleypc@gmail.com

Air Ambulance Appeal

As some of you know from personal experience the work of the air ambulance is crucial.  There is currently a petition to encourage the Government to exempt the Air Ambulance Services from duty on fuel in the same way that the RNLI is exempt.  If the campaign gains 100,000 signatures, Parliament is duty bound to debate the issue.

Although the tally has now passed the required number, it would do no harm for the depth of feeling in the country to be demonstrated and add weight to the campaign.

If you do feel strongly about this please could you click on the following link and sign the petition.  It takes no more than 1 minute (depending on your typing skills!). Please also forward it to your friends.
