It’s taken us a couple of months, this year to get things up & running, as we are such
a small but very busy group.
The start to our season, after the dreaded EI, has been a mixed bag, with weather

Video Day But we are determined to push on, which leads me to the next topic:
Membership
• July 20th We have never been a large club, but for what ever the reasons 2008 seems to be
Video Morning particularly poor for our club, with only a small amount of financial members, thus far.
At our Freshman’s Jumping Day in Feb, we had 25 riders, it was a MOST enjoyable
day & very successful for our club.
We would like nothing better than to see our club thriving, with many riders & helpers
at our grounds each week.
It is our aim as a committee, to provide our members the chance to ride with others,
under instruction, recreation & competition.
We can only offer what we THINK you would like to do at club!, & I would like any
member who has an idea for club to please speak up & let one of your committee
know.
From the President (cont)
