Spotted! Fell Pony Marshall at Reservoir Bogs
Its a pleasure: ad happy Birthday Kanga x
The Master would it be possible for the Pony club elite membership ie you to say----- organise a fell pony series where we have say 8 races a year where we can gain points and have prize giving night at the end, we have no need to be that organised ie committees/treasuries, i can get the sponsorship for trophies it would just mean someone would have to decide the races, keep score, and well keep all informed? please please pretty please, Trig is very keen to have us at the Heptonstall thingy (i think its too late for this year but he is dogging me hard)
I understand the word's like organise committees are not our bag but we just seem to be drifting or should i join CLEM? but i can't do that as they don't make Vets big enough for me so tough you have only got me
I'm off down to Moody Mares to by a an equine themed trophy - see you on July 9th - first fell pony will be presented with some silverware!
Sounds a splendid idea...
Myself & the artist formerly known as Fellmonster are currently busy with another "project" and dont forget, the Ponies are run by the members, ie; if The Ponies want a championship series, they can have one....Ponies pick races, Ponies run races, Ponies win prizes.
If anyone would like to volunteer to run the website (its easy) get in touch and i will sort you out as Ricky and i dont have time at the moment.
Lets have some race suggestions, there is no reason why we cant run a Championship this year, theres loads of time left.
And remember, nobody is in charge, least of all me! (unless i win the trophy of course)

I tried to get a Fell Ponies Champs going a couple of years ago, but trying to organise this lot is like trying to juggle soot![]()
That's great thanks George, ok i volunteer to sort the race series out, it will be over a year and will consist of 10 races in total, it will finish at next years Midsummer Madness weekend, there will be a first Male, first female, v 40 v 45 v50 prizes there will also be a v born on 3-11-63i will collate all records there is no joining fee no rules just turn up and race i will keep an eye on results and update the series as we go along so anybody up for this??
Who ever runs all the series i have no doubt will have a good year, my suggestion for races will be final.
ok who wants to run the web site? or are we turning into a team? hmmmm
Will there be a Northern Series too?! :wink:
(oh by the way, I have been poached (not the egg kind) by a man in a white hat!!! :w00t![]()
Oh dear but you can still be a pony he is as well!
I will put one of the races in your neck of the woods x
PS to all ponies as a trial for our upcoming series the first Pony race will be the new race HEPTONSTALL FESTIVAL!! Saturday 9th July / 6miles / 1500 ft Trig has beaten me into submission and he is making an effort to supply the first pony home trophy so i hereby offer to MARSHAL THE RACE WITH HIM and watch for any ponies if there is a turn out for this event the Fell pony championship will become live !!!
Come on Steve is a decent bloke who has put in a lot of effort for this fell race and even has offered a trophy for first pony.
