JUMPING DERBY - Our very grateful thanks go to all those who helped with the setting up and the running of the Jumping Derby on 22nd June.  It was a really windy day and just to have people willing to stand and hold! or rebuild fences quickly made the day viable.  At least it was warm and dry.  We had lovely large class numbers and all in all proved to be a most successful day.

Thankyou. NPC committee
