British Dressage is sorry to announce that with immediate effect, Frys will no longer operate as a BD affiliated venue. This is despite best efforts by both sides to pave a way forward to continue the relationship.
Frys was due to host a Summer Regional Championship in August this year and Sport Operations Manager Paul Graham has started the search for a replacement. All Northern Region organisers have been contacted with some information and invited to tender for the 2015 fixture. Applications close at the end of the month and the new venue will be announced in due course.
Paul commented; “After a long and successful association with British Dressage, we are obviously disappointed to lose Frys as a venue, but understand and respect their reasons for deciding not to continue. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Simon, Julie and all of the team at Aike Grange Stud for their tremendous support and contribution to the sport over the years. All northern organisers have been invited to apply to run the area’s Regional and we’ll endeavour to have a replacement as quickly as the selection process allows."
