Best Wishes To Everyone This Chri
BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE THIS CHRISTMAS AND FOR THE COMING NEW YEAR OF 2012
We are now half way through the season with over 1000 entries so far.
The Championships, sponsored again this year by CARRIAGEHOUSE INSURANCE are just a mere 13 weeks away.
Many areas are closing entries well before the event closing date of ten days before the event! So get your entries in to avoid disappointment.
Saturday evening at Keysoe is Area Knockout Challenge night. Each area will send just one competitor to represent the area. The challenge is run on the World Cup format, cones and obstacles driven at speed over three knockout rounds with the best only going on to the final round.So show your very best and the area organiser may well invite you to represent your area.
We look forward to seeing you at the BRITISH INDOOR HDT CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Enjoy the remaing events of the 2011-2012 winter season.
