GENERAL
A
WORD ABOUT VENUES
Thanks
to those who responded to our request for additional venues.
We shall be trialing different places and would still like to
hear from anybody who has or knows of an indoor arena that may
be available. Contact Di
Baker or Linda.
We are actively looking for different venues
to complement those we already use by kind permission of their
owners. We’re aware that we have a wide geographic area and
that sometimes it is difficult for members to get to the venues
that we use regularly. If you know of any near you that have good
surfaces, easy access and parking for lorries and trailers, indoor
or outdoor facilities we’d like to hear from you.
Practice sessions are held for each discipline at our regular venues
which are chosen for ease of access and friendly low-key atmospheres.
For cross country and show jumping practice sessions contact Di
Blackman so she can understand what height you want to do and can
then choose the right venue to suit your need.
FUTURE EVENTS
We are entering Novice Teams for Area Show jumping and Horse Trials – contact
us if you are interested. Di Baker 01424 845033 or Di Blackman 01424 813465
We will be sending teams to the Area Dressage too – again anybody
interested give us a call – Di Baker
We will need volunteer helpers for this too. Anybody who can give half
a day – 1 day please help.
