    We in the Midlands are pretty lazy on meets unless it's at Shakespeare Avon and they start in April again

    Considering theres a few of us in the midlands we don't seem to have many, although we do go to few 1/4mile days when the season is running, anyone is welcome to come to those.

    I'd be up for a midlands meet, I normally go to the shrewsbury meet as its not to far and its a decent drive where you can let the ponies out for a bit of a sprint on the way
