If you're coming to the 19/20th April event and don't fancy a ball, don't worry; the clubhouse will be open as normal, and we're trying to keep the marquee separated from the horsebox park to keep any noise down.

Volunteers' lunch

We couldn't hold driving trials without volunteers! Free for helpers, past, present and future, and also for drivers who bring helpers to the lunch. Please bring your friends, family and neighbours who are interested in helping us this season.
There will be a short talk about horse driving trials and our season's events, the chance to ask questions and to find friends old and new.
