| As far as I am aware it will be treated seperately like the AHS already does for the futurity money, this is ring fenced and used for the purpose designated. |

Perhaps the AHS should consider making more of the shows qualifiers, especially when we now have a bigger ring at HOYS which could cater for a bigger class, and the fan clubs that follow.
This may act as a sweetener for the extra money they are asking for the qualifying cards. |

Well, I don't do numbers - but is sponsorship for 3 years, paid in advance?
I thought?? Jayne some posts back was maybe offering to manage it, she is professionally qualified and a co-opted/commitee person.
I would certainly be happy to send my cheque to her - if we knew
a) who it was to be made out to --- HOYS fund - or a ring fenced AHS fund
b) what(who knows) the interest rates - would it be better to send 3/5 years payments now or wait and pay annually. I guess admin wise a one off payment is easier .. but I don't know if that makes sense?
I would love to think that we could move forward with our loved breed, but I fear we all need to work together to just secure the future? |

Our hands are tied as to the number of Qualifiers - as these are "stipulated" by HOYS. - Sorry
Supporters Fund - i am "researching" the best way to administer this! Bear with me for a day or two! |

| It might be worth asking why there are so many more qualifiers for other animals trying to qualify for HOYS. |

Please - i think we need to bet back to the "funding"
- we have had many discussions with the HOYS management over the years - and not to put to fine a point on it what we have is what we get! - Like it or lump it! The Arabs are not the biggest crowd pullers - and there are many other breeds & types that would love to take our place.

Just to confirm what Jane has said.
In a previous job I dealt alot with HOYS and holding qualifiers. They are a law unto themselves and will only give what they want to give. They don't like bending or helping.....
I feel that the arabs have a large number of qualifying classes compared to some sections.
In my opinion we need to get funding sorted or there will be no qualifers at all...

| With regards to the class sizes our arab section is split into 3 categories, where riding horses and hacks is only split into 2, so in total figures we are not doing too badly since we are not considered a main attraction. |

Emma you are right - we actually have 1 class of 45 horses - which we choose to have split into Mares, geldings & stallions.
Anyhow - first thoughts on "Supporters funding" -if done through the AHS - then where applicable we should be able to claim "gift aid" on it which obviously increases the value of the donations substantially.

| I think it would be crazy to complain in any way to HOYS at this point and I agree with some that the funding needs to be secured however it can be. It is such a unique showcase. How does its cost compare with Malvern? Could savings be made there in order to safeguard HOYS' Arab classes? |
