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.

Badminton 2023 starts a day late for the King

 Badminton Horse Trials will start a day later than planned so that cross-country day does not clash with the Coronation of Charles lll and the Queen Consort on Saturday, May 6, 2023

The dressage phase will now take place on Friday and Saturday (May 5 and 6), cross-country on Sunday (May 7) and the show jumping finale on Monday (May 8). Dressage will start earlier on Saturday so that everyone—competitors, spectators and officials—can be part of this historic day; the Coronation service will be shown on the big screens

 'Ever since the news came through that the Coronation would be held on the Saturday of Badminton we have been working out how best to deliver the Event around the celebrations,' said Badminton Director Jane Tuckwell. 'We very much hope that the wonderful and historic occasion of the Coronation will make it a truly memorable Badminton and that everyone will be able to attend as usual.'

The dressage phase of the Voltaire Design Grassroots Championships will start on Wednesday, May 3, continuing on to Thursday, May 4. The Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse qualifier will also take place that day, plus the first horse inspection for the CCI5*-L. Trade stands will be open from Thursday

The Box Office opens early January 2023
