However we are in a time of economic decline and it has become apparent that some members feel disadvantaged when their budget does not allow them to attend the number of shows they feel neceessary to achieve the higher placings. We have therefore decided to cap the numbers of shows that count towards the points; accordingly those from the first ten shows a donkey attends will be the only points earned during a season.
At each show points will be given as follows to the top three placings, with no extras for Champion or Reserve
Championship Status Shows Non Championship Shows
| 1st | 4 points | 1st | 3 points | |
| 2nd | 3 points | 2nd | 2 points | |
| 3rd | 2 points | 3rd | 1 points |
Each donkey will require its own individual card, and the owner will be required to fill out the relevant details for each show attended and send the card to Gill Show for verification by 20th October 2010.
Score cards are available from Bill Tetlow please send a SAE to hime at his home address on Page 59 of the Donkey
Juniors
Juniors can now collect three sets of points at each show. These could be from any three classes to include: Young Handlers, Ridden Donkey, Pet donkey, Best Conditioned etc. but NOT breed or driven classes.
Cards to record Junior Points should be obtained from the Education and Youth Committee Chairman, Jean Fooks.
