To avoid congesting the BEF thread.

I have started a new one in reply to Roland regarding surfaces;

You may or may not be aware, the following venues all have adequate surfaces. Soveriegn Quarter Horses; Bodiam; The Mendip Stud; John Dumford. There are also rumours of two new venues having larger suitable surfaces added.

BR has published an extensive list of shows all on good surfaces as well as AQHA shows all on good surfaces. In fact there enough shows to keep most us busy this year.

i for one have allways been vocal on this subject and I can now say that there are more than enough quality shows on good surfaces from early spring to mid autumn. The only way that this can get better is for the season to lengthen a little and perhaps a few more NRHA claases at these shows. (this is a wish not a criticism).

We now have a duty to support these venues so that it is viable to continue at this level.
