We must all work together to ensure that the rules are adhered to and we can have an enjoyable, positive experience and go home safely. By entering the show, you agree that you and all other members of your party will follow the signage, adhere to the rules and comply with any requests made by officials at the event. We thank you in advance for your full cooperation.

• Government guidelines regarding Coronavirus (Covid-19) and social distancing are subject to change. Updated rules and guidance for our event will be posted on the Veteran Horse Society website in the lead up to the show. It is your responsibility to ensure you read these updates and if you are unable to comply with the rules/guidelines, you must not travel to or attend the event.

• If any of the following apply to you or a member of your party, you must not attend the show. See government guidance: www.gov.uk o You feel unwell. o You have a new continuous cough. o You have a high temperature.

o You are experiencing a loss of or change in sense of smell or taste (anosmia). o You are shielding - in the high risk, clinically extremely vulnerable category. o You self-isolating for any reason, including having had contact with someone with symptoms or a positive Covid-19 result, or returning

• Test and Trace: You must provide contact details for you and your party and by doing so, you consent to these being shared with NHS Test and Trace if required.

• Toilets and wash facilities: Competitors should provide their own toilet and wash facilities in their vehicle. Where toilets are available on site, these will be cleaned regularly. Please ensure that you sanitise your hands before and after using them.

• Social Distancing: Social distancing guidelines must be adhered to at all times. Stay at least a metre away from people not in your household. This includes travelling to the show, at the ring side, in the buildings, stable blocks, and in the horsebox park.

• Face coverings: Please use face coverings when inside the buildings.

Email [email protected] or text 07977 002710 with the class number and your name.

• Class Splits: Classes may be split into sections order to maintain low group numbers. This may affect presentation of prizes and eligibility for Championships – details for affected classes will be provided on the VHS website one week before the show.

We hope this change will suit everybody. Raffle tickets for the tombola will be on sale in the Show Office from Thursday through to 4pm on Saturday when the Tombola will be drawn. Winning tickets will be displayed on the prizes in the Show Office and these can be collected at any time after the draw, through to Sunday lunchtime.

Everybody is welcome at this relaxed and friendly event, so come and join in the fun. This is always a popular night and although there is plenty of space in the bar area, if you are a bigger group wishing to share a table we advise you arrive in plenty of time. Following the auction many of our competitors stay on to enjoy the social atmosphere and enjoy a drink catching up with old friends and making new ones.

The alternative route from the A52, through Sedgebrook and Allington is not suitable for horseboxes due to narrow roads and a (12ft) height restriction bridge. It is also a residential area and the residents would appreciate if the traffic flow coming through their villages could be reduced on show days.
