2020 Events and Covid-19


The Committee here at EACDG have been constantly reviewing the current Covid 19 outbreak and the possible effects to our Organisers, Judges, Stewards, Ground crew, Drivers, and obviously the general public, we can assure you that safety is our utmost concern and with this in mind, coupled with both Government guidelines and BC recommendations we have taken the decision to cancel our March training day along with our one day event.

The April two day training and April two day event with NNQ will be postponed until later in the season as long as the current situation dictates.

All other events will remain on the calendar but will be reviewed regularly.

Obviously we will keep you informed as and when anything changes.

We wish you all well in these troubled times.

Best regards

Malcolm Brown EACDG Chairman

March and other event details


Welcome to the new season, we hope you've had a good winter and all is well?

We write you this email just to bring you up to date with a few notifications.

  1. Our March training day and one day event still is very weather dependant, the ground is very wet but is starting to dry up nicely, we are hoping for no more rain and looking forward to the first events. We will inform you of any decisions to cancel as soon as we are aware.
  2. As the March event is still under observation we are extending the closing date for entries until 21st March, get you entries in now.
  3. The training day is nearly fully booked, we only have two morning slots available, one for Minta and one for Sara, please book now if you want training.
  4. Due to increases and changes in our online booking system we have had to introduce a small admin charge of £2.50 for cancellations, please note this will not be charged if we cancel an event.
  5. Training event in April is also filling up quickly and we currently only have a small number of slots available, please book early.
  6. We will be asking for support soon for some work parties, these will be at Ashfields and will be mainly based on tidying up and possibly painting obstacles, we will send out dates as soon as we know.
  7. Some of you may be aware that we have recently introduced a new East Anglian Carriage Driving Group Facebook page, this will be used to keep you informed of any club related issues only, we are still operating the old group page as normal but found that due to the amount of posts regarding other posts of driving related interest the club related information just disappeared down the list only to be seen if you trolled through everything. If you use facebook then please add us to your favourites.
  8. Please note that no trade related posts are allowed on the facebook page and persistent offenders will be removed from the site. Trade related posts will be allowed if the trader is a sponsor of the club, please feel free to contact us regarding possible sponsorship packages.

We hope you have a great season, have fun and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
