With a high of 27 degrees and no shade this was one very hot and dry event. How Barbury manages to battle these conditions is with the old established turf, that at least muffles the rock hard ground on this chalk down land.
Since it started 5 years ago, I've been to Barbury as a competitor, spectator, guest of a sponsor and even a supplier, and each time I've found myself wanting to call Nigel Bunter [Barbury's Owner] and say "well done but have you thought about..."
There's so much to love about this event, and considering it's relatively new you have to be a little forgiving over the things to dislike about the event. Running this event here proves that you don't need a grand stately home setting to host a great event that draws in the public.
