As the Jamboree is a Championship, there was no point score for these Led classes, although all riders received a special award.
Competition numbers have decreased over the past few years with distance and expenses defining factors. The Zone covers an area from Wingham and Oxley Island in the south to Dorrigo and Corindi in the North.
In an effort to boost numbers and to give younger riders the experience of such an event, the Zone Executive decided to include Under 7 Led Classes in the program this year on a trial basis. The Led Riders competed in Riding Class, Pairs and Sporting.
