JUMPING CLINIC: with JANET GREEN at RADFORDS on Sunday April 6th starting at 2 pm. Classes starting at pole work at teeny tiny….( that will be me then!!) up to ENORMOUS . Book in now and set yourself up for the season ahead. Open to paid members of our riding club…and if space at the end, members of other riding clubs.

A fabulous time was had at Radfords Equestrian, when we held our John Boggs Clinic.  A good uptake by membership and everyone leaving with big smiles is a sign of a successful event.  Dates of the next one to follow soon. 

NEXT social evening will be at THE CROWN in WENTNOR on Thursday 24th April.

Lots of us fancied having some tea there so those wanting food can head there for 7 ish and those who just want a drink from about 8 onwards?

My mouth is watering already!!!

ALL CHANGE tonight at our committee meeting as Clare Davis handed over the treasurer duties to Rachel Jones.  MANY MANY thanks to Clare who has done an amazing job for so long.  Clare will remain on the committee where her knowledge and wisdom is always appreciated.  So THANK YOU Clare and Thank you, RACHEL!!   😀   Please note new address if you like to pay for your club activities by cheque.

A member just pointed out to me that there may be some confusion about membership dates. Because of the way BRC’s run, memberships run from January to January…irrespective of when you join so joining in July, your membership will STILL run out on December 31st. We do allow concessions for NEW members who join after October 1st and let this run for the following year but generally…everyones membership is up for renewal on January 1st. Hope that helps everyone to understand our drive to get you all signed up. ALSO please note that MOST of the membership money goes to HQ and NOT to the club.  sad but true

Trip to school at Kesall Hill next weekend with Janet Green.  All abilities catered for.

Please book in with kay@soloqui.co.uk

Also possible to just enjoy the farm ride! Please let me know ASAP if you are interested.
