DRESSAGE QUALIFIER - 12TH AUGUST 2007
The weather was kind to us over the weekend with just a few showers in the morning. Thank You to
Trish Bridge and Anne Dawson for all their hard work in re-scheduling this event following the postponement in June.
This included having to find three Judges who pulled out on Wednesday and the threat of foot and mouth. Peter Booth spent
the weekend setting up and acting as our safety officer on the day.
All of our Stewards and helpers worked very hard to make sure all was well.
The Qualifying teams and Individuals will soon be invited to the Championships at Lincoln. Please
make sure the paperwork is returned to Stoneleigh as soon as possible. The Office staff are aware that we had to run late
and so will be aware that the returns will not reach them by 17th August 2007. We are not the only area to suffer postponements
as you can imagine.
Offchurch - Horse Trials Championship
Congratulations to everyone who competed at the Horse Trials Championship and especially to those
that were placed both in Teams and Individually. Area 20 Clubs were placed in every section with East Cheshire winning the
Open.
See this weeks Horse and Hound and the British Riding Clubs web site for results.
Job Vacancy on Area 20 Committee
Julie Blake has indicated that she will be standing down as Area Chair at the AGM. As you may know
Julie agreed to fill this position as a temporary measure and ended up doing the whole year. As such the area will
need to elect a new Chairman at the AGM. If you would like to stand for election or would like to know more then please email
me with an expression of interest. The position will be filled by election amongst Area Reps at the AGM.
Good Luck to those travelling to Lincoln for the Championships.
