If Harveywetdog did Wikipedia

In April 2020 and in the interest of legacy I wrote a Wikipedia entry recording the thoughts and notable works of Harveywetdog. I admit I was ignorant of the rules concerning self promotion on Wikipedia and consequently my entry was correctly deleted and my account expunged from the system. As a result my original words and links were sadly lost but nevertheless here is a rewrite. Perhaps when I'm gone someone will be able to enter it onto Wikipedia as a fitting epitaph for my time on the Harveywetdog Project.

Video highlights and photographs from the Monday competitions at Tweseldown (2) in 2016.

I had originally planned to visit the revamped Tweseldown course for the March opening event. Unfortunately the weather scuppered my plans as initially Thursday, then Friday and ultimately the whole event was cancelled (or was it abandoned?) The first event is generally ideal for seeing some top horses being given their first run out of the season. But we can't do anything about the weather and despite some heroic efforts by the Tweseldown team the event was lost.

I think it was after I'd offered my sympathies to the organisers that they asked if I'd be attending in May. When I saw that the key action in May occurred on a Monday I began to rebuild my plans around that day. In the end I attended Tweseldown on Monday 23rd May 2016 to record action from the Intermediate and Novice competitions.
