Kidderminster in Worcestershire has been the home of Wolverley and District Driving Club since it was formed in 1977. The format has changed little over the years, but the emphasis these days is more towards trials and driven eventing than in rallies and showing as in years gone by. However, several members prefer to drive their ponies and carriages for longer distances, over unfamiliar terrain, and in past years have ventured into the Cotswolds, Shropshire, Central Wales and Northumberland for driving in get-away places. Off road drives are planned for the less competitive, although our emphasis will still be on fun-days and eventing type competitions culminating in One-Day Trials that we have run very successfully for a number of years. Created in 2000, the Millennium Cones Competition runs throughout the year, and competitor’s best four scores from six rounds count towards the final result. This has been a great draw to events, and helps to maintain a healthy entry list. Like the world over, Wolverley members need help in dressage and the general ‘way of going’ of their equines. We are able to secure the services of Driving Instructors of the highest calibre. Training is available for all our members, and courses for the B.D.S. Tests are run, as and when required. Help and guidance is always on hand to instruct and advise the back-stepper and driver alike. We are always keen to encourage the Junior Drivers, and we have supplied a team of trainers from our membership to run very successful Junior Drivers’ Camps for the BDS Worcestershire Section. W&DDC caters for all sizes, from Shetlands, small ponies, to full size. Following a busy season of competition and fun-days, there is always a social winter calendar, when events are held, sometimes purely social, but occasionally, informative and instructional, culminating in an Annual Dinner. A points league runs throughout the year for both Whips and Grooms, and trophies are presented for this and other yearlong running competitions on this occasion. The aim of Wolverley and District is to provide something for everyone, whether hoping to compete at National Driving Trial Events, attending fun days, bringing on a young horse, or just out to enjoy carriage driving for pleasure, and they are doing just that!
