organised by Gail Brownrigg |
|
|
“On Monday the 1st of May 2006, member taking part
the Loseley meet maintained the tradition of taking
the vehicles from the coach house at the start of the
summer season and decorating them with spring flowers
for their first drive. On their return from the drive
around Loseley estate the turnouts were awarded their
prises by children from the Chase hospice who
benefited from this event.” |

Whitleley Village Spring Drive
|
|
|
“Whiteley village spring drive was held on Sunday
21st May in clement weather but did not detract from
the beauty of Bluebells and the Rhododendrons nor the
enthusiasm of those braving the weather. After a
keenly fought competition of presentation, paces,
artistic impression and gamblers cones Lyn Hamill
driving 11.1 hand Chantilly won the overall
competition with Ken Russell second and Margaret Hill
Venning third. The junior class was won by Joe Weaver
and Jack. Thanks to the Whiteley Village Homes Trust
for their kind permission for us to stage this event
in their beautiful village.”

“Surrey members celebrated the 21st area show on
Sunday 9th July with large classes coming forward
with the judges Richard Lanni and Richard James
commenting on the high standard of both traditional
and non-traditional turnouts and driving which Surrey
members could be proud. The overall champion was June
Hommers’ Atherton Prince driven by Gary Docking with
the reserve champion Clive Fountains Regency Rocky
Boy to a milk float. It was particularly pleasing to
see the large exercise and pleasure classes which the
judges decided to split in order that everyone had a
fair chance to show their animals to their best
potential. See results page and photographs. (link to

| We look forward to welcoming all BDS
