Date and Location Announced
Today is a big day! The date and location for Cantering Carousel 2017 have been announced!
The show will be held on the 19th & 20th of August 2017 in Ettington Community Centre, Warwickshire.
This is a nice big hall with loads of space, good parking and ample grounds.
It is relatively easy to find and close to the M40. It's central location is perfect and it is close to Warwick services which has a Days Inn so there is somewhere cheap to stay overnight.
There are also several tourist attractions nearby so parents can go off and have a nice day out!
Tickets will be available from the 19th of August 2016.
Full schedule and details will be available soon, please be aware that I'm still without all my files and computer which makes life quite difficult (I miss photoshop :()
The website for the hall is here: http://www.ettingtoncommunitycentre.co.uk/home

Narrowing Down the Halls
So my aim is to get a hall booked within the next two weeks.
We have narrowed it down to four halls (yay) and are now looking at going to view them. All nice halls, all have good points and bad points as always. I have a favourite but as with all things model horse live showing we won't know until we've actually seen them!
Also as always they are severely lacking in tables...why can't halls just have lots of tables? Urgh.
Re dates the plan was always August :) So hopefully that is OK with everyone. I'm hoping that by releasing the date early people will be able to put it in their diaries for next year :D
The plan is still to open for tickets on the 1st of October. And we'll have a full schedule and information released before then so that you guys can have a look through and see what we are doing.
The plan regarding the schedule is to go for something similar to Glitz & Glamour a few years ago. Which would mean sections for:
Performance
Original Finish
Plastic CTF
Bendy CTF
Fun/Novice
Workmanship
Custom Finish
Artist Resin
Animal Artistry
Artist China
But they will probably be cut down a bit, more sections, but a few less classes. We don't want to be there until midnight!

BINGO!
Sorry I didn't do a Monday update, that is bad of me!
Anyway this weeks update is what do you do instead of a raffle? Well of course you steal an idea off another hobbyist and do Bingo instead!
I didn't want to run two raffles (boring) so instead I've decided that on the Saturday instead of a raffle we will have model horse Bingo!
There will be a selection of really nice prizes on offer, split as normal Bingo prizes would be (with the very nice ones for those who get a full house).
People will be able to buy Bingo cards, which instead of numbers will have the names of Breyer moulds on them.
Then moulds will be called and people will use special counters (most likely sweets) to mark off their cards. We will keep playing until all the prizes have been won :D
Just like the raffle we will be asking for donations (in fact we will be asking for donations across the weekend and then I'll split them evenly between the two looking at value/appeal etc).
If you have anything you would like to donate please just email: catriona@chestnutridge.co.uk
I know its a long way away but you cannot be too prepared!
On another note once Brendon's exams are over we will start seeking out a venue, we have narrowed down a few possibilities but as with all things we won't know until we've actually seen them. We are still open to suggestions so if you have one please just get in touch :)

Ticket Types
So from now on, right up until the show we will have a new announcement every Monday. So keep checking back!
Obviously for now, until tickets go on sale and stuff starts happening some of these are going to be a bit brief and boring (well nothing is ever boring but still).
But today I thought I'd announce how we are going to be doing the tickets.
Tickets will be available in three types:
Each ticket will allow you to buy up to two spectator tickets, which will be nice and cheap, but spectators won't get any fun stuff like goody bags and cannot enter any of the shows or competitions throughout the weekend.
Children under 5 years will be free to attend when coming with a full price ticket holder. But they will not be allowed to show or enter competitions.
We will work out pricing in due course but the aim is for the bronze ticket to be as affordable as possible, for those on a budget. Then we have silver for those who want a little bit more but don't want to completely splash the cash and then gold for those who want an amazing weekend of awesomeness.
Gold and silver tickets will include things such as entry to exclusive draws, amazing filled goody bags and lunch for both days.
But more information and prices will be released once we have a venue and date. Tickets will be on sale from October hopefully!
If you have any comments or suggestions, please just let us know.
Happy Monday everyone :D
