We were very lucky with the weather for most of the day today at Moulton College EC, but the afternoon classes did get rather damp – so much so that the Newcomer class didn’t run. Those who competed in the morning had a good time though, and the rosettes and prizes were hotly contested!

The results from the 4 classes that took place are now available on the Results page, and we look forward to seeing lots of people again after Christmas (16th February and 16th March 2025). Scoresheets from the afternoon classes will be distributed to riders where possible, and taken to Moulton 2 in February if no alternative can be found.

Version 1s of the start times and competitors information are now available for Sunday’s competition. Please check back here on Saturday in case any changes have had to be made (the version number will be advanced if so).

The schedule and entry form for the first event in our 2024-25 winter season are now available on the Calendar page. Entries for Moulton 1 on 20th October are coming in fast, so get your entry in soon to come and join the fun!

We would also be very grateful if riders could come early enough and/or stay late enough to help build and take down the courses. Stables are available to rent (£30 for the day) if that is useful. If you would like to join with someone to have a stable for half a day each please email moulton@trecgroup.co.uk and we will do our best to match people up. Getting everything set up for a prompt start with only 3 or 4 people is very difficult, but many hands make light work!

The competitors information for this weekend’s event at Stonton in Leicestershire (LE16 7UG) is now available. Final checks are being made on the start times and they will be uploaded tonight or tomorrow, but the overall plan for each day is as follows:

Saturday POR map room times – now full list

Level 4 starts at 0900, level 2A at 0940, then level 3 at 1025 and finally the level 2s from 1130.

The tack check will be 1 hour after each rider’s map room entry time and then POR start 10 minutes later.

Sunday MA and PTV times – now full list

Level 3 starts the day at 0900, then level 4 from 1030. The level 3 and 4 prizegiving will take place at 1130.

After lunch at 1200, the level 2s and 2As will do their MA and PTV from 1300-1600, with their prizegiving taking place at 1700.

Central’s second summer TREC competition of the 2024 season will be held at West View Farm, Stonton Wyville (LE16 7UG) on 14th-15th September. We are offering levels 2 to 4 (including 2A) but are aiming to work riders’ brains more than horses’ legs, with levels 3 and 4 planned to have POR courses of approximately 20 to 25 km in length.

The schedule is available via the Calendar page, and that is also where the JotForm link for entries will go live on July 25th. Please ensure when entering that you complete a JotForm AND ALSO pay your entry fees via the Store (available from the same date).

We would also be delighted to hear from anyone who would be willing to judge, please email central@trecgroup.co.uk with your details if you are available.

We had a fabulous weekend at Theddingworth – the sun shone and the views were lovely (some riders found them a little distracting!) The results are now on the Results page.

7th June – annotated maps for the L2 POR are now on the Results page too.

We will shortly be putting together the schedule for our competition in September, so keep the date (14-15th September) free! It will be a Level 2, 2A, 3 and 4 competition and should have something for everyone. Offers of help will also be gratefully received, please email central@trecgroup.co.uk to add your name to the list.

The weather forecast looks good (please everyone cross their fingers and toes that it proves to be correct…), the Leicestershire countryside is gorgeous (bring your camera!) and the setting up is going well for the opening competition of the 2024 season at Theddingworth.

Competitor Information

Start times – POR (Saturday for both levels)

PTV (Sunday for both levels)

Wood Fired Pizza Shack menu for Friday night – please mention Central TREC Group or Theddingworth when you order. Sadly Jonnie can’t bring a van to join us on Sunday as he is off to Luton for Radio 1’s Big Weekend – it seems that Coldplay is a bigger draw than we are…!

The Competitors’ Information includes a link to the WhatsApp community set up for the event. Riders are welcome to join and judges/helpers are encouraged to do so from their own devices and then ask to join the Judges and Helpers group (only those listed on the Helpers list will be approved). The General group will be set that only Admins can post from Saturday morning at 8am and it will then be re-opened once the POR has been completed.

We are looking forward to seeing you all, bringing smiles and hopefully good weather. Mary and Helen
