Dear all, I hope you will be ready for some fun after Christmas: here are the proposed times for the Wix World Cup, Friday, 29 December. If the earlier groups could arrive in time to help us set up the course, from about 8:30, that would be a great help to us (and make it easier for you to remember the route!) The first two groups' course walk is 9:00-9:30. Please be ready and warmed up 10 minutes before your group's start time - you may be asked to go in early if another driver is late. Kindly be considerate in the warm-up arena and control your speed when you drive near or overtake other turnouts - for everyone's safety! Thank you - please call (preferably) 07710 467774 if you have a problem or can't make it. Text messages sometimes get delayed however I will acknowledge your message as soon as I get it. Numbers will be issued on the day, as usual.

Here is an outline of our Wix World Cup competition on Friday, 29 December, 2017 - closing date 19 December... If you have never tried driving a "World Cup" style course of two obstacles combined with cones, now is your chance to have a go. And if you've done it before, you'll know it's great fun! This is a fun event in the main arena and is not a championship qualifier. Drivers must have competed successfully in indoor driving trials or at a BC-affiliated event before entering this event. All drivers must be current members of Indoor Carriage Driving-UK. ICD obstacle rules apply - please remember your body/back protectors. Rosettes will be awarded according to class, and for backsteppers, kindly sponsored by Donna and Sammy Moncur. How does it work? Each person drives the course three times in turn with the others in their group (in the same way we drive the obstacles normally). Your first go will be timed and scored but is a practice round only and does not count in the final score. The better of your second and third rounds counts in the competition and the lowest score wins. YOU CAN HELP... If you can come early (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! Bring your friends and family to watch/to help? Thank you. Spectators are very welcome. The ace cafe and animal feed cash and carry will be open and we have the use of the warm up arena. The schedule will be posted here in the next few days. Please call me if you have any queries - 01473 735732 or 07710 467774. |
