Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all our members and friends!

We hope you have a great year competing with the club in 2014. We are changing from the usual winter and summer points systems to having an annual points system – running from January to December. The Points table for 2014 can be found under the Results section, along with tables from previous years.

Another new addition for 2014 will be a move to pre-payment for dressage entries and training. Entries will not be accepted without payment and options to pay will include cheque by post or PayPal. The dressage on Sunday 2nd February will run as previous with payment accepted on the day but subsequent competitions will have to paid for in advance.
