Here is some information for the riders who have entered the Welsh 3-Day, the Cwmcarn Pargon. The programs are with the printers and the organiser hopes to get them back and send them out to riders on Wed or Thurs at the latest. Any rider who has entered and is concerned can give me a ring and I will give them whatever info they require.
