Tour Day 3 - opening night.

Wow .........................now that was something.

An early start. 7.00 for me :) somewhat later for her nibs :(

Hillary, Sue , Simon, Charles, Katie, Linda, Luke, Kelly, Monty, Dan the man to name but a few of the 'core team' and the helpers went through rehearsals. It went just great - Pie and Copy were simply outstanding.

As the day ticked on time just slipped away and the 6.30 members private session arrived. Showtime had begun

I've never been to a Monty show before but I knew that he was a master of his art and craft..........a marketing supremo and horseman extraordinaire. the whole evening wow'd the assembled 600 plus audience.

Copy was inspiring and he and Monty put on a display that made both Lou and I immensely proud and privileged to witness. Pie and Kelly too did the same.......

We ran out of brochures and leaflets within the first hour - amazing.

the interest the evening created in western rinding and the stud was amazing lets hope it follows through into more active members.

Our hosts at Greenlands - Mandy , Wilf and family could not have looked after us better....thanks to you if you are reading this.

better sign off now and get ready to hit the road for bonnie Scotland.
