Showjumping competitions open to ALL BRC members

We would like to invite current senior members of British Riding Clubs to compete in our last three indoor showjumping competitions. We would be delighted to see them; they would need to bring their BRC membership number and agree to abide by our rules and dress code. This invitation is for Sunday 31^st January, Sunday 28^th February and Sunday 14^th March.

Cancellation of East Clwyd Team Challenge

As there are two other Area competitions and Stafford ODE on the same day, we have reluctantly decided to cancel the East Clwyd Team Challenge which was to have been incorporated into our show jumping on March 14^th. The normal show jumping as per programme has NOT been cancelled – entries to Margaret entirely as usual.

Area Qualifiers

All members who would like to take part in Area Qualifiers should inform the relevant chef d'equipe of their interest as soon as possible, and then confirm their availability approximately six weeks before the competition. All dates on the Area website or in our own programme.

After much consideration, we have decided to look at a different format and venue for the presentation evening in November. I would be grateful for any suggestions/ideas, so that the evening will be a fun night and popular with the members. Please send any ideas to gemmakippen@nrgassociates.go-plus.net as soon as possible.

Congratulations to Gemma Kippen and Roland VI who recently won the 1m class (and came 5th in the 0.9m class) at the final of the Oliver Townend Eventers Challenge Championship at Aintree. They were the only combination to finish exactly on the optimum time with no penalties to add. The prizes include a days training with Oliver Townend at his yard in Shropshire.

Anyone who wishes to enter the dressage at Medium level or above where they can choose their own test, the requirement is that they must advise the organiser at point of entry of the test that they are going to ride and must provide the sheets. This is in order to allow the judge sufficient time to know what they are judging!

Please see the Summer and Winter Events pages for details of coming events, and to download schedules and entry forms.
