Aldon

The end of season is here!
We had a great last weekend of action at Aldon.  Huge thanks to Lucy Jones for organising and running the Aldon owners tent this weekend.  She did an incredible job!  Special thanks from Lucy to Lindsay Caudwell and Kanny Ledger for their support in helping over the weekend.
As usual the Aldon organising team were terrific, it was a challenging weekend due to the weather, and against all the odds the Event managed to continue to run.
Congratulations to Tessa Mackenzie-green and the Team for another successful Aldon 2017.

Open every day of the event, it is free to enter for BE members – with a current membership card – and guests can also enjoy the benefits and are welcomed into the Pavilion for a small fee.

There will be NO specific EHOA hospitality tent at Blenheim in 2017. Please note to gain access to the members area at the main arena you must purchase Blenheim members tickets.

I will post my  “State of the Nation” Report later this week for those that were unable to join us.    I am thrilled that those present ratified the appointment of Carole Turner to the Board.

Thank you to those that manned the tent during the weekend – it was a great atmosphere all weekend.
