Owing to technical difficulties, Emma’s Tasty Tucker Trailer can’t come - however, Emma’s wonderful elves have stepped up and there will be a selection of hot and cold drinks, soup, and cold food to keep you going during the day available in the cafe (is the plan!) You might wish to bring your own sandwiches… Apologies! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Here's the course diagram for Wednesday, 28th December. Help to build it - from about 8:15 - and to clear it all away at the end would be greatly appreciated. There is still room for more fancy dress entries - please let me know... Thank you!

Thank you for your entries for the last ever Wix World Cup competition. This is a fun event in the main arena and is not a championship qualifier. All drivers must be current members of Indoor Carriage Driving-UK. This is a combined cones and obstacle challenge – no Precision & Paces test – and is run under obstacle rules: each person on the carriage must wear a helmet and body/back protector; each set of cones or obstacle is numbered and must be driven in sequence; each knockdown adds five penalties, etc... lowest time + penalties wins. Lovely rosettes for first to sixth places will be awarded according to class plus backstepper rosettes for every turnout, kindly sponsored by Donna and Samii Moncur. Prizes for each fancy dress turnout – please tell me if you are coming in fancy dress. HEALTH & SAFETY REMINDERS Please stay at var/www if you are feeling unwell or have any symptoms of Covid, of course. Please park 'spare' cars, those of backsteppers, friends, spectators or not being used to tow a trailer, against the hedge by the road and not in the horsebox or shop parking area. Please keep your carriage alongside your trailer or horsebox - that is, out of the way - while it is not in use. Walk in the horsebox area – no trotting. Thank you. HOW DOES IT WORK? Each competitor walks the course with their backstepper to decide their best route and then, in their group, drives the course THREE TIMES in turn with the others in their group (as we do normally). Your first round will be timed and scored but is a practice round only and does not count in the final score. The score is your time plus any penalties for errors of course, knock-downs, etc., according to the normal rules for driving obstacles. The lower score of your second and third rounds counts in the competition. After your first two rounds, please return to the warm-up arena. FANCY DRESS COMPETITION The theme is “films”. Fancy dress is optional. Prizes! Please let me know if you plan to dress up! YOU CAN HELP... If you can come early (8:15-8:30) and help us build the course, we'd greatly appreciate it - and later we'll need help to dismantle it at the end of the day, too! Spectators are very welcome. The café area is open for spectators and Emma’s Tasty Tucker Trailer will be providing hot and cold refreshments. The animal feed cash and carry will be open. Please call or text me if you have any queries - 07710 467774 As ever, please check in when you arrive and collect your number bib (or bring your own) and check your group time - and be aware that withdrawals may make your time earlier. Please be ready in/near the warm-up arena and at least ten minutes early. Thank you! There will be a course walk at the start – 8:45-9:15, and a second course walk later. Times and course to be published shortly. |
