It looks as if the idea of a meet up is a good one so now we just need to decide a date.
The venue would be close to Lanark in south west Scotland. It's around a five hour drive from Derbyshire and Inverness, an hour from Edinburgh, two hours from Kelso and about 2.5 to 3hrs from Barnard Castle.
The idea is we use the concept of playing with groundwork and what you can do with youngsters and older ponies as an excuse to go over some basic stuff, play with ponies, see each other and eat good food. I thought we'd have a look at clicker training, basic groundwork exercises like in the physio DVD and some concepts of life proofing youngsters to things like tarps, large gym balls etc and what that entails.
The poll allows you to tick all of the boxes so just tick all the dates that work for you and we'll see if everyone who wants to come can do the same date.
I've got grass livery spots in electric fence fields for ponies and camping in the field or woods and sleeping bag on the floor space for people.
I also have a local contact with a very good B&B who also does small self catering holiday cottages and pony B&B if people want a little more luxury. She has been known to take dogs too.

I can understand the distance thing though, I have relatives in Matlock.
