Press Day signals Badminton is just around the corner

The annual Press Junket at Badminton (today), usually highlights that Badminton is just around the corner and is front and centre in the minds of the nation's press and media. The Horse & Hound already have their "Count Down to Badminton" running on their home page (15 days away now), and social networks, blogs are all a twitter of all things Badminton, as riders prepare themselves and their horses in the hope of capturing one of the biggest equestrian sporting accolades, The Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Trophy.

Mitsubishi in their ever supportive role of title sponsor bring an enormous fleet of their popular 4x4s to Press Day to provide transport for the media on Hugh Thomas's sneak peak of the cross country course.

Meanwhile, a battalion of contractors continue to work tirelessly installing miles of cabling, acres of canvas and a myriad  of other items that provide the infrastructure for event, like no other.

Another two busy weeks ahead!
