THE North Eastern Counties Welsh Pony and Cob Association has changed the date of its summer show to bank holiday Monday, August 30.

By avoiding clashing with many of the major show championships during July and August, the committee feel that the new date will maximise entries in all sections. Any clash with shows already on that date is inevitable, but not intentional.

The summer show will continue to award WPCS medals and hold NPS, Ponies UK and NPS area four qualifiers.
