Onwards - July 2012 - South Wilts Grammar School for Girls

NSEA Jumping with Style Qualifier
hosted by Godolphin at Sparsholt College
On Saturday 16th June, South Wilts set out to compete in the National Schools’ Equestrian
Association Jumping with Style competition, hosted by Godolphin School and held at Sparsholt
College. The competition was a qualifier for the NSEA Jumping with Style National round, to
be held in October at Addington Manor.
Jumping with Style is a unique competition which consists of a non-timed show jumping round,
immediately followed by a timed cross-country round, all in one
arena. Competitors can incur penalties for show jump knock-downs,
refusals and cross-country time. Judges also analyse the distinct
change in style made by the rider when moving on to the crosscountry
round after show jumping. The competitor with the least
number of penalties wins.
The SWGS team competing in class one comprised of Bethany
Puzio, Alice Uloth and Matilda Roylance (right). All three achieved
clear rounds with few style and time penalties, and so the team was
placed 1 st and qualified for the national round in September. Bethany
also did extremely well and won individually too.
The fences in the second class were around 15cm bigger, and the
SWGS team was Bethany Puzio, Alice Uloth, Matilda Roylance and
Georgina Church. All four again achieved clear rounds and the team
came 3 rd , but unfortunately didn’t place high enough to qualify. However, Frances Elgar rode
an inspiring round and came individual 3 rd .
It was a great day and the team looks forward to competing again in October.
Many thanks to Miss Holland and Mrs Penwarden for being brilliant team managers! (Matilda
Roylance 8E)

ONWARDS
There are some changes to the school PE kit for Year
7 from this September. The new designs are optional
for Years 8-11. The school council met with myself,
Mrs Stammers and the PE Department to discuss
options. The girls opted for a skort to replace the
green gym slip and a more fitted top.
The shop will be closed from Friday 20th July to Friday 31st August
(It will be open on Saturday 1 September 9.30am to 1.30pm and then normal term time hours)
