One of the great things about the Southern Show is that it is well endowed with trophies, and all you have to do is win almost any class and you can take home a trophy already engraved with lots of well-known Fell prefixes from years past which will then sit proudly on your mantlepiece for the next year, impressing your friends.

This means of course, that those of you who took home trophies last year need to remember to bring them back for this year's show, just in case you don't win them again!  It's much safer to bring them back in person if possible, as this avoids any loss or damage in transit, so if you are coming to this year's Southern then please bring them with you, and hand them over to Bob & Sue McNamara in the trophy tent when you arrive.

If you are not coming to this year's show and you are holding trophies then please ensure that you return them before the show day, or give them to somebody who will be attending the show, with firm instructions to hand them over to Bob & Sue first thing!  There may be somebody near you who is going to the show - e-mail me on mesgspringshow[at]fsmail.net if you'd like me to check.  Don't forget to get your trophy engraved with your own pony's name before you give it back!

If you are not sure how best to return your trophy please contact Bob & Sue on 01566 783471 or 07596 997207  as soon as possible and they will be able to help.  We do need all trophies back in time so that none of this year's winners are disappointed!
