Well an evening of ups & downs for the quiz team!!
Some amazing rounds with 9 / 10 and some not so great. Really held their own against much older teams in a bit of a sitcom quiz.
Up in the top 5 for 3/4 of the competition but unfortunately finished 14th (we think…but it keeps on changing!).
Given their ages, that’s an amazing result. I know the team are a little disappointed but I’m immensely proud of their achievement.

Wow!!
Well, the 5.30am start was worth it!
What an incredible day for Burton at Area Show-Jumping. We may be small…but we are mighty. Finishing the day with 2 more championship qualifications to add to an already impressive count.
Katie took a fabulous 3rd place in the 80cm to qualify for the Regional Championships, while the 90cm team also managed a brilliant 3rd place to qualify for the summer Championships. The teams in the top 4 all finished on equal faults and were only separated by time.
Extra big shout out to Helena who finished 5th individually having jumped 3 fantastic clears.
Well done also to Freddie & Molly who represented the branch at 80cm & 1m.
Thank you to Jo for all your hard work getting the team training organised and to Dale for his team training and being there today for last-minute help & advice.
Saturday 16th – Sunday 17th July – AREA EVENTING
Hosted by Cottesmore
Results / Review
Burton was represented at Area Eventing by Lilly in PC90 and Molly, Katie & Beth in PC80.
It was a little warm but the event was superbly run by the Cottesmore with good ground on both course and arenas
With a great dressage score and double clear Lilly and Golden Honey made it to the top spot in their section securing them a place at the Pony Club Championships. So that’s a hat trick for this combination going to champs in 3 disciplines.
The 80 team had some super rounds, a great experience for them as it was their first time at Area Eventing with Beth and Katie gaining a place at the Regional Championships. This was another hattrick for the branch as Katie has now qualified for the Regional Champs in all three disciplines.
Well Done All!

And a 3rd in the Tack & Turnout.
Always proud to be part of Burton PC!
Big thank you to our trainer, Dianne Finnegan who is always so committed to games success for Burton members.
