Matthew running for Fay was just pipped into second place by the winner Lyn running for Sarah Baines. Charles ran for Ann Connelly and was 3rd. he has been booked already for next year! Hilary Hart did the superb but thankless task of scorer, she and Elfyn Ellis on the loud speaker managed to cope with everything thrown at them! They both got a huge thank you from me and all of us who enjoyed the day. Definitely booking another Area 37 Annual Show in 2017.

With the winter months approaching we look forward to the coming year ahead, I would like to thank all the members that have supported our events throughout the year and wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Many of our local shows have suffered with bad weather this year with many members getting soaked to the skin We have had regular drives in Newborough forest on Anglesey with miles of off road tracks to follow. We were very lucky

We held a fun and de-sensitising day in August with all members and their ponies having a lot of fun. At the end of August we attended the North Wales Shire horse society open day, the rain held off despite having a horrendous thunder storm the night before. The event was well attended and the BDS display went down very well with the spectators. One of our
members arrived with a pony but left the show with the pony and an Alpaca. We now look forward to our winter events which I am glad to say will be mostly indoors.

Winter is fast approaching and it is time to reflect back over our summer events. We have had a few rallies and of course our Show. We held our BDS Trec at the end of July and were lucky enough to have six entries. The weather was good and the roads quiet. The cones course before leaving the field was deliberately difficult but designed to show that all the
