The New Year Fun Live is not like any other live show, and I was lucky enough to attend this year (Jan 2011). The Show is held at Rothersthorpe, which meant a 2 ½ hour car journey, we left just after 8am as this show has not got so many classes it starts later and finishes earlier than most shows. But it still meant getting up at 6am …!!!
With the car loaded up we started off, unfortunately it wasn’t a smooth journey as due to a very hard frost overnight and a lack of gritted roads there were many accidents we came across along the way which slowed our journey.
We pulled into the car park at around 11am (much later than we wanted too) only to find the show hadn’t started yet – this was due to many others having delayed journeys due to weather related accidents on the way, and unfortunately Marian, the host of the show, was unwell and couldn’t attend but thanks to the wonderful Catherine and Amanda who very kindly took over the show at the last minute the show still went ahead.
The NYFL, as I said before, is not a ‘normal’ live show, it’s more of a chance to get together and have some seasonal fun. Classes included ‘Seasonal Scene’, ‘Look what Santa brought me!’ and Worst CM by Owner.
At Lunch time the Mini Show Jumping proved very popular and many tried for a clear round, sadly my horse & rider got the prize for knocking down the most jumps and causing the most damage.
There were also quite a large number of Dr Who figures in attendance too… lol
Much fun was had by all, and all that’s left to say is a Huge Thank you to Marian for organising the show, Catherine and Smurf for running the show on the day and to Amanda for a wonderful Buffet Lunch.
See you all next year!
