BE Covid-19 statement

BE Covid-19 statement 6.50pm 16th March 2020

 

In light of the government announcement today, the Board of British Eventing has taken the very difficult decision to cancel all events with immediate effect.  

The government advice has been to minimise social contact and non-essential travel, and the restrictions on the support of the emergency services means that the responsible decision is to take all action necessary not to further burden the NHS or risk members' safety at events.

We thank all of our members, organisers, officials, volunteers and staff for their support during these unprecedented times.  We will continue to monitor the situation and will resume sporting activity as soon as we are able.

For those events that have passed ballot date, members will have their entries refunded under the abandonment insurance and those pre-ballot will be refunded in full.

We will update you all as soon as we have any further information.
