Very kindly sponsored by Le Mieux
The BSPS is a Children’s Society and, as such, it is important to ensure that we make sure our Championship Shows are fun for all our smaller members. This year we are going to run at some of our Areas Shows, ie BSPS Area 1A, BSPS Area 1B, BSPS Area 5, BSPS Area 1B to name a few a Hobby Horse Championship culminating in a Final at the Summer Championships. We hope that this will raise awareness of our extensive Children’s Entertainment programme at both the BSPS Summer and Winter Championships. All the Children’s Entertainment is free and includes a Playbus, Craft Room, Ibox Bus, Football competition, Fancy Dress, Disco and Fashion Show and parties for the adults and enables the BSPS to stand out against other major Society shows.
