It’s a sad day when our BDS Area 15 Annual Show has to cancel its main event due to receiving only six entries, two of which came from my yard.
The support of our members is vital if we want these events to continue. Our Area Commissioners and volunteers work tirelessly throughout the year, giving up their time to organise and run events for all of us to enjoy.
When you consider the value on offer, £40 is an incredible entry fee for a full day, with the opportunity to take part in as many classes as you wish, alongside access to the fantastic facilities at Poplars Farm, Anslow.
The reality is simple: if we don’t use it, we’ll lose it. I can see a time in the not-too-distant future when local events like these may no longer be available because organisers lose faith in the level of support from competitors and members.
WE ARE BDS Area 15, and we are fortunate to have an amazing team of Commissioners and volunteers working on our behalf. Let’s show them how much we appreciate their efforts by supporting the Fun Weekend on the first weekend of September.
Together, let’s restore confidence in Area 15 and ensure these wonderful local events continue for many years to come.
