The sun shone down on the righteous. Sorry I mean the weather was fantastic for the Royal Tournament and it has to be said the show field was imaculate, well almost - the little trees in pots refused to stand to attention, especially with a big black from the cav climbing all over them. All the competitions were strongly contested with honours going to all the groups competing. Capt. Avison won the Master at Arms. SLR and individual, Sarah King cleaned up in the 2 rings, Team event was won by Cav. A team which consisted of Mark, Danny Powell and Trooper Brown (who looked just like Paul Brown - I do understand though that his sevice in the army was short lived being dropped immediately after the event ) oh well such is life.
A picture of tranquility Alan Bingle (Judge) enjoying the day. Our thanks must go to the judges Trevs, Alan and not forgetting Flem (not that you could forget him) . These guys do an unenvialble task in all weathers. They never seem to see the same run that the riders see. Bit like the England v Germany Game (don't mention it).
It has been said that the Melton Bowls team played on the track after we left.

Dear Members,
Those of you who attended Aldershot last week do not need reminding about the weather. The words Monsoon, Deluge, Noah, Red Sea are just some of the words used to describe what was enjoyed at the scene.
As a result of this slightly inclement weather the only competition to reach a conclusion was the Pegging with Lance. Below are the results as we know them
1st: Capt Avison
2nd: Mr J Dudney
3rd: Maj Puckey
4th: Mr G Knott
5th: Capt Darke
6th: Mrs G Hughes
The scores were all mashed so I can't give anyone any further details.

Dear Members and other assorted people. Friday saw the Windsor Competition and what a competition it was. Firstly it didn't rain, which its a plus. The initial competition arena was a little small which didn't leave a lot of room for stopping. Still Six riders went through to the final in the main ring.
Paul Brown, Mark Avison, Gerry Faulkner, Guy Ridley, John Dudeney, and Danny Powell - This had the making of a cracking final and it didn't let the spectators down.
Team event:
Royal Logistic Corp, Sussex Peggers B Team, King's Troop, Household Cav.
Sword Lance and Revolver were:
Mark Avison, Sarah King, Guy Ridley, Paul Brown, David Puckey, John Dudeney.
Individual Lance:
Paul Brown,Jerry Faulker. A gripping final... a run off on 1" pegs
For the results I will post pictures on their respective pages later tonight |
