Badminton

Wednesday 1st May - Sunday 5th May 2002

It will run this year - all livestock removed from park!

After the disappointment of the cancellation of Badminton 2001, this is a must for your diaries for the coming year.  As in previous years one party will depart on Wednesday lunchtime, arriving at Badminton in time to see the 'trot up' for the vet's inspection, before moving on to our caravan and camping site. You will be able to see all the dressage and additional attractions on Thursday and Friday, the cross-country on Saturday and the show-jumping and prize-giving on Sunday before travelling back that evening.

Another group will travel down on Friday evening, arriving in time to join us in a great pub meal that night, then attend Badminton on Saturday and Sunday.

Now we have links with two of eventings elite riders - Leslie Law and Caroline Pratt - we should have some good opportunities for 'insider information' and perhaps a chance to see behind the scenes.

Past members - why not join us?  It's a great few days with the world's best in eventing on show. And you can catch up on all the gossip since you left!

N.B. Friends of Chester College are warmly invited to join us on this trip.

Approximate* costs: Caravan Camping
Wednesday - Sunday £128 £90
Friday - Sunday £101 £65

N.B.  Costs are all inclusive of travel from Chester; breakfasts and evening meals and all tickets including good grandstand tickets for the dressage and showjumping.  Deposits will be needed by Febuary 25th and the full payment by the end of the Spring term.  See or e-mail Alan to book.

* If more people than last year go, the cost will come down.  If you use your car to transport other people the cost will again fall.  For example, on last years figures, someone transporting 2 people from Chester to Badminton and return would have paid £101 for the full four days or £75 for the weekend.
