Five Long days to go!!

Hi Everyone!

Hope ye are all enjoying Dublin, unfortunately there’s still a good bit to do here so I’m not going to make it to the RDS. Instead I’ve had to settle for updates from our Press Officer who did manage to get there!

A lot has happened since my last blog. The Olympic jumps have arrived and are looking great! We also started doing up our office where I work during the show! A big thanks to Oisin, Conor, Ryan and Darragh for painting the office and dispensing with the counters.

The Office gets a paint job!

Entries are massive and this show will be the biggest show jumping event ever held at Green Glens. Due to such large numbers we have decided to alter the schedule which you can view here. Also we are no  longer taking entries so please don’t even ask as refusal may offend. A schooling round for International and Boomerang horses has also been added so that will start on Tuesday August 13th at 14.00. I appeal to all of you to be as efficient as possible next week and please be polite to the Pocket Stewards as it is not an easy job for them!

On a lighter note, last evening I finally got an evening off to go to the Millstreet Community School Debs where I also teach. Below is a photo of myself, Alanna and Sinead (who also work in the office). The girls looked fab and we all had a great night!

I look forward to seeing everyone next week, please stop by and say hello and I hope that there wont be too many problems! I wish everyone the best of luck and I hope that you all find your visit to Millstreet enjoyable and prosperous.
