Express Eventing International Cup. Stuart Buntine's blog

Well if activity is a sign of a successful event then this is going to be huge. Our office seems to be running hard with phone calls emails and correspondence. I think that it is all is really starting to take shape.



I am now in the middle of writing confirmation letters to all the officials who are coming to help, trying to explain to them their roles and tasks. It is really quite difficult as there is no blueprint for this event, as it has not run before so it is all very, very new. What is making it more exciting is the fact that we have only one night to convert the stadium from a rugby pitch to an event course.



I hear on the radio that they are having to relay the pitch because of the problems they are having! They haven't seen anything yet! I was at the stadium just after the Welsh International Football and all the controversy surrounding it then. I said to the stadium manager that I was surprised that he had not said to the press that the pitch was in great shape compared to what it would look like on the 1st December!



It is so lucky that the pitch can be replaced as easily as it can. What a wonderful venue.
