Support our Sands - Woodhill Sands Summer Fundraising Grand Prix Show Jumping

Support our Sands - Woodhill Sands Summer Fundraising Grand Prix Show Jumping

On Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th of December we have a show with a new idea we're trying.  As you may know, the economic downturn and rising costs impacting many businesses across New Zealand have also placed significant financial pressure on Woodhill Sands. To help address some of these difficulties, we recently held a community meeting to discuss possible solutions.  We had a great turn out and lots of wonderful suggestions.  One of the ideas raised was to host a fundraising show.  We are having this weekend on at our December GP Show Jumping Show.  Come an join us at the Support our Sands Woodhill Sands Summer Fundraising Grand Prix Show Jumping.
