I am having a good deal of fun here reading all the articles and reports of the<br />
summer’s events. (Sorry, I didn’t mean to use the word “summer.” Monsoon, perhaps.)<br />
I enjoyed the Convention Week, but hands-up those who needed a week afterwards<br />
to recuperate! My word, there was a lot going on. I wish I could have attended<br />
everything, but even though I was part of the organising committee I<br />
couldn’t quite manage it, so the reports that are coming in are filling the gaps<br />
nicely. I will share them between the Magazine and the commemorative book<br />
‘<strong>Fell</strong> Diamonds: A celebration of 90 years of the <strong>Fell</strong> <strong>Pony</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.’ You will get<br />
tasters of the week here and the full reports will be in the book, so look for it at<br />
the Spring AGM 2013.<br />
In the meantime there is the ‘<strong>Fell</strong> Diamonds’ writing competition to get your<br />
teeth into. Full rules and entry details are on the FPS web site and in the Magazine<br />
section on the Convention Week. Please note the deadline—30th November—<br />
and do advertise the fact to friends that we are giving quite worthwhile prize<br />
money and entry is open to all. Entry is cheaper for FPS members and free to FPS<br />
juniors. (Hint—juniors who enter are quite likely to get a prize, at the moment!)<br />
I hope to see you at the <strong>Autumn</strong> meeting. <strong>The</strong> deadline for the Spring Magazine<br />
2013 is, as always, 1st February.<br />
Best wishes<br />

Letters to the Editor<br />
Hi, I just wanted to share with you and the <strong>Society</strong> our wonderful news. I<br />
qualified my <strong>Fell</strong> pony Townend Revel (Castlehill Bellman x Townend Truffle II)<br />
for the Horse of the Year Show ridden, at Lincolnshire Show. Absolutely overjoyed<br />
especially as this is my first ever HOYS ticket. We bought Revel from Bev Hodgson<br />
(Inglegarth) as a yearling after she had bought him from the Townend Stud to<br />
keep one of her youngsters company. He is now rising 7 and a real sweety doing<br />
showing with myself and general hacking/playing with my Mum, he really looks<br />
after her! We have just started jumping and hunting this year too. Both myself<br />
and my Mum were over the moon at winning at Lincolnshire Show and are really<br />
looking forward to going to HOYS for the first time.<br />
Thanks<br />
Cher Cartwright<br />
