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!

Raffle Prizes

It's Monday which means it is time for an update, unfortunately until we find our venue my updates are going to be a little boring...
