Ringside
presentations...
Why don't more shows do ringside presentations (as opposed to the Secretary's Tent) after each
class? I went to a show the other week where they did this and it was lovely. Everyone knows
exactly when the presentations are going to take place and there was a really nice atmosphere
as lots of people were ringside or walking the course to cheer on the winners. Rae Prince
Tasha for President
From Richard Partridge
As the vacancies for Queen appear to be filled for the next generation or so, and we would not wish to lumber even our worst enemy with the Prime Minister's job, it would seem the only reasonable accolade for our multi-gold winner must be President. Or is there something more appropriate.
Of course there is! Coming up soon is the BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY). Can you picture it... Sue Barker, all glittery and smiley - or am I confusing her with Gary - making the announcement. 'And this year the title goes to Natasha Wise, Double Gold winner at FCI Agility World Championships two years running.'
But dream on. Nobody outside Agility knows about our successes, mainly I feel because we don't tell them. Apparently the shortlist nominations are made by sports writers. The television viewers then vote on the day as we have seen. Trouble is, no sports writers know about us, so they won't nominate our Tasha. So if anybody knows any anybody who knows anybody else who can help get this crazy plan off the ground, let's give it a go, after all it's got to be easier than changing the constitution so we can have a President.
