ASTON LE WALLS FUNDRAISING EVENT TAKES PLACE THIS MONTH

The additional fixture at Aston le Walls is taking place at the end of this month with all proceeds going to benefit the BE Youth programmes.

The aim of the event is to raise funds for the BE Youth programme, helping to reduce the deficit of cuts brought about by the impact of the pandemic. The team at Aston le Walls came up with idea of holding a one-off, additional fixture at the end of the season to support our young riders, where everyone behind the event (including organisers, contractors, professional staff and BE) will be giving their services at a reduced rate, at cost or for free.

AMAZING PRIZES FOR RIDERS

There will be classes for riders competing from BE80 up to Novice and some of the sports top names, will be donating their time to offer an incredibly special prize to the winners of every section.

Each class section will be adopted by a ‘celebrity coach’, who will provide a fantastic one-to-one lesson for the section winner. They will also be showing their support for all the competitors in their section, by sharing top tips and a message of good luck. This a unique opportunity to get access to some of eventing’s greatest talents, including Olympic medallists, Team GB riders and performance managers.

The list of celebrity coaches so far: 

  • Laura Collett 
  • Tom McEwen
  • Pippa Funnell
  • Harry Meade
  • Gemma Tatterstall
  • Sarah Bullimore
  • Kitty King
  • Nicola Wilson
  • Richard Waygood
  • Chris Bartle

There is also an opportunity for one of the winners to bag a free spot on the Caroline Moore and Ros Canter Clinic held at Aston le Walls in November.

In order to maximise fund raising and to enjoy a good party, on Thursday 28, the event will host a party starting from 6.30pm. Dress code will be cocktail / lounge suit / black tie. There will be a disco, paid bar, and food options. Tickets will be priced at £45 a head.
