Show Costs.
Posted - 27/09/10
As before mentioned, the tail is now wagging the dog as regards to the costs involved in running Shows today. It appears we have arrived at the state where organisers are wary of committing to a show, given lack of forward entries, and all too often the event is called off. Pre entry has always been a thorn in the side of competitors. Personally I hate it, and will avoid it at all costs. Inevitably having shelled out large sums in advance, the pony goes lame, child ill, etc.etc. There must be a need for a Centre to put together an all encompassing package, getting rid of the need for over the top First Aid charging and massive pre entry hype. Otherwise we will be sadly lacking some Shows next year.
