We would like to thank a few people for helping us stage the Dorset Conquest 2023.
Without the help and cooperation of the land owners it would impossible to put on an event like this, some were extremely kind to allow us to run on private land, others cut path ways and moved animals especially for this event. So a special thank you goes out to the Meaden Family, Richard, Graham, Mary and Emma Tory, Laurence Burgess, Rebecca and James Hill, Monica Tory and Andrew Tory. The Frampton family and Sears.
Davina Shave, she ran the Shop and Tearoom almost single handed over the weekend (the helpers we arranged pulled out at the last minute)
She worked all week preparing the site and course.
Kevin Day for doing an excellent job signing the course and lending us equipment. Also Kevin and Kirsty for marshaling and designing.
Mark Elliott and Steve for helping to clear paths. Mark also helped around the farm and checked the animals so that we could concentrate on the run for the day.
Marshals & Aid Staions
Joe Godden, Mark Elliot, Steve Claxton, Kevin Day, Kirsty, Martin and Gillian, Kiren, Steve and Marina Wheeler, Lisa plus a lady who volunteered on the day but I didn't catch her name.

My fantastic son William Tory, who worked all day and did a great job time keeping. Jenny Loveless who manned the cakes and water, Rebecca Loveless for handing out medals plus two little medal helpers.

We would also like to thank all the runners and supporters who came along and made it such an enjoyable day.
