TUMBLERS CLUB 2011/2012
Empty Saddle - Roll of Honour
| Tumbler | Tally | How It Happened | Photo |
| Sally | 2 (£11) | Paradise Lodge - Also known as 'Rodeo Sal' to her friends. A lively ride made sure 'Rodeo Sal' Tumbled twice. | |
| Barbara | 1 (£10) | Frickley - Horse slipped whist jumping a log. Barbara took a tumble then gracefully slid to the bottom of a boggy ditch. Apparently this wasn't at all funny! Who took the picture? Please email me db@bbmh.co.uk | |
| Sadie | 1 (£10) | Campsall - An undeserved fall for a true heroine after she gave the Field a lead over the exit fence when they'd lost impetus in the woods. | PHOTO |
| George | 1 (£5) | Campsall - Brave going over the stone wall and through the wood, but the sharp left turn after jumping out of the wood was a leap too far! | PHOTO |
| Amy | 1 (£5) | Campsall - Supposed to be looking after everyone else but the fence had other ideas - result = a graceful dismount | |
| Peter T | 1 (£10) | Pollington - A blind ditch! | |
| Dan | 1 (£5) | Henwick - 'We just tripped up' - 'Dan asked does this count?' Oh yes it counts!! | |
| Adie | 1 (£5) | 'Ellie slipped' | |
| Andrew M | 1 (£10) | Bilbrough - There was this big hedge - to go through it?, or to jump it? unfortunately for Andrew the horse decided neither was a satisfactory option. | |
| Heike | 1 (£5) | Haddlesey - Horse and rider were going very well until an elegant exit stage right at telegraph pole. Heike says 'I landed on my feet - does that count? Oh Yes!!! it counts! | |
| David | 1 (£10) | Hampsthwaite - Jumping wall for third time we slipped on landing - does this count? Oh yes!!! It still counts! | |
| Annette | 1 (£5) | Hampsthwaite - I blame David does that count? Oh Yes!! | |
| Harris | 1 (£5) | Stapleton - Harris was being a hero and jumping big fences very well - until - well the photo tels the story! Got up and got on with the rest of the day. Well done Harris! | PHOTO |
| Kim | 2 (£11) | Stapleton - It was big. It was very spectacular - but it unfortunately didn't quite work out as expected..Twice!! | |
| Anthony | 1 (£10) | Stapleton - Ooops and out of the side door - it was just one of those things! Anthony says I landed on my feet does that count? Oh yes it still counts! | |
| Claire | 1 (£5) | Weeton - Was going very well until = Oh dear! | |
| Michael P | 1 (£5) | Weeton - Was all going very well until the fence into the field - landing in a combination of cow and mud.Tumbled, re-mounted, covered in what David Attenborough would call 'guano', but not a hair out of place! | |
| Annie W | 1 (£5) | Ryther - Annie with horse in wood - Suddenly jaut Annie no horse! | |
| Sadie | 1 (£11) | Campsmount - Another one for Sadie - The mud on the jacket told the tale!! | |
| Robert B | 2 (£21) | Campsmount - Caught in slow motion, on camera, not quite jumping the fence - we can't really pretend this didn't happen! | PHOTO |
| Big Al | 1 (£10) | Pollington - Man V's tree! Tree won! | |
| Ellie | 1 (£5) | Frickley - I didn't make it out of the first field - Managed the first buck but not the second - Game gal got up and carried on. | |

| Sam | 1 (£5) | Frickley - Oh Dear! | |
| William W | 1 (£5) | Frickley - Does't happen often. | |
| Robert B | 1 (£10) | Frickley - Horse fell down a ditch does that count?? Oh Yes!! | |
| Kathy | 1 (£10) | Smeaton - Going down bank behind kennels: kathy said 'yes' horse had other ideas ..hey ho! | |
| Roly | 1 (£5) | Stapleton - jumping through woods - didn't quite make it but horse jumped well without me - also took hours to clean the uniform. | |
| Adie | 1 (£6) | Healaugh - Oooophs - but up and out again at Clayton - you can't keep Adie down for long!! | |
| Simon P | 1 (£10) | Healaugh - Admitted at Biggin meet. | |
| Annette | 1 (£6) | Healaugh - Into the bottom of the largest dyke ever, up th other side and out over the log - then disaster!!! An enormous leap launched Annette. What is a girl to do when launched? Grab the flask on the way up - just in case its needed on the way down. Big mistake! Saddle flask straps broke - Annette is understandably devistated! | |
| Sadie | 1 (£12) | Stockeld - Oh dear! Up and ended again!! It was the post and rail that did it!! | |
| Jodie | 1 (£5) | Stockeld - Jodie was also a victim of the post and rail but unfortunately for Jodie she didn't see the mud bath coming as well - Very cold and very wet, and very muddy | |
The Badsworth & Bramham Moor Tumblers’ Club is intended to be a ‘tongue in cheek’ and entertaining way to raise funds for the Hunt. It’s intended to celebrate the brave, the foolhardy, the muddy, the wet, the good the bad and occasionally, the ugly! There have to be a few guidelines to ensure fair play!
Membership should be considered an honour and a privilege by all who have a sense of fun.
Rules of ‘The Tumblers’ Club’
• This will be an Elite Club. The ‘Elite’ Membership will be invitation only. Membership will be restricted to the Members of the Field who hit the ground unintentionally and importantly, with the only damage done being a dent to the ego and perhaps with a little mud attached!
• There is only one exception to Membership of the Tumblers’ Club – The Field Master of the Day will be exempt – reason: he /she’s a hero for a day and the Field Master will perhaps not have the opportunity to have a good look before leaping. However, on days when a MFH (or other) is not acting as Field Master the gloves are off and tumbling will definitely count!
• Membership of the Tumblers’ Club will start at the beginning of the Autumn Season – JTW will keep the tally. She will collect your contributions the listings, complete with rider’s excuses will go on the Tumbler’s Club page of the website to help judging. In the event of a tie, the silliest, best & most unlikely excuse for tumbling will swing the result! The Supporters’ Committee will act as judge and jury. The Chairman’s decision will be final.
• To preserve privacy, Tumblers can choose how to present themselves - first names only, full names, initials or pseudonym will be used on the website – it’s not really a problem – we’ll all know who you are!!
• All Tumblers will be invited to join the Tumblers’ Club from the date of their tumble. So when / if you receive your invitation, please, join in the fun with a good heart and a smile – who knows you may even win!
• A chart on the web page will be updated after each Meet, listing ‘incidents’, league standing & income raised.
• Photographs of tumbles are very welcome for the web page (however, in the case of a really, truly embarrassing photograph, a small ‘bribe’ (aka a donation) to Hunt Funds from the person involved, may keep you off the front page – depends how ‘small’ the donation is!). It is hoped a display of ‘Tumbles’ (from both professional and amateur photographers) can be arranged for display at the Tumblers’ Club end of Season Party.
• There will be a trophy and prizes for the winners (or should that be losers?) To be presented at a Tumblers’ Party/ function at the end of the Season (March)
• Tumblers’ Club is open to all who hunt regularly - all ages, all shapes and sizes! All you need is a sense of humour!
• The Tumblers will raise funds for the Hunt by –
Contributions of £5 for the 1st tumble then an increase of £1 will be added for each subsequent tumble – £5+£1; £6+£1 and so on, or £10 first tumble then all others FOC. Proceeds from the end of Season Tumblers’ Party (which is already in the planning stages and will be an excellent evening)
An alternative is available which is intended for consideration by the super confident – the payment of a one off ‘anti bump’ premium of £25 to be paid at the start of the Autumn Season This enables you to be automatically entered into the end of Season ‘Super Seat’ Draw’ – however, if you do tumble the ‘anti bump’ payment immediately becomes invalid and you have to join the Tumblers’ Club and pay your contributions.
• Please note – Membership of the Tumblers’ Club will be double the charge for Red coats and / or buttons. Staff will be invited to join the Tumblers, as will The Huntsman.
• ‘Big Brother’ is not spying on you to see if you tumble – but, as everyone knows, the Field, the Foot Followers, Photographers etc: don’t really miss much - so if you do tumble – you really can’t pretend it didn’t happen – just bite the bullet and give Jenny T.W. the details and your contribution. If you do quietly look over your shoulder and re-mount, remember the mud on your jacket always gives you away!!
• It’s hoped that if you do tumble, it’s only your ego that’s dented and you’ll feel able to join in the fun and become a fully qualified member of the ‘Elite’ Tumblers’ Club.
• Intentional bail-outs do not qualify.
