QUIZ NIGHT!!

Posted on June 10, 2013 | in News

A quiz night will be held on June 22nd at Smallwood Primary School.

This is a fundraiser for ECCTG to continue supporting all its wonderful teams who qualify for championships so we expect to see all past, present and future team members there showing their appreciation for the club’s support!

Funds raised will also go towards supporting Nicki Toomer and Brook Butler who will be representing the club – and Great Britain! – at the World Riding Club Tournament in France at the end of July. See below for more details.

Tickets are £10 each to include supper. Available from Gwen Robinson (01477 535985), Nicki Toomer (07834 208522) or Brook Butler (07949 404941).

 

World Riding Club Tournament – France – July 2013

Posted on June 10, 2013 | in News

Following double success at the National Show Jumping Championships at Lincoln 2011 and 2012, ECCTG has the honour of sending two members to the World Club Tournament in France. Brook Butler and Nicki Toomer will be representing the club and Great Britain, alongside two members from Gower Riding Club in Wales, and hoping to bring home the World Title. Gwen Robinson, ECCTG’s Show Jumping Chef d’Equipe is also acting as Chef for the GB team.

Brook and Nicki welcome all support for this event and hope to do the club proud. We hope that members will support the club by attending the Quiz Night on June 22nd, where funds raised will be put towards horse hire cost (more expensive than you’d think!) for this event as well as towards general ECCTG team costs. Donations are of course welcome even if you can’t make the quiz night!

More details about the event and tickets for the fundraiser are available from Gwen, Brook or Nicki.

Festival of the Hunter Championships, June 1st 2013, Aston-le-Walls

Posted on June 3, 2013 | in Results

Lovely weather at Aston le Walls for the Festival of the Hunter National Championships, and Sally and Tocka’s Treasure, Sally and Pride of Kashmir, Andy and Millthyme Sambucca and Catriona and Give me Grace were all ready and well organised for their Challenge 90 team final.  The show jumping caused plenty of problems with a choice of fences and a tight time – the cross country rode pretty well and the fearsome double of corners caused very little trouble.  Our four were not victorious – Andy and Sammy had a bit of a discussion at the jump just before the water, and George (Pride of Kashmir) took a little while to stop gazing around in wonder – Tocka’s Treasure lived up to her name and jumped a double clear – looked really happy with all fences – the odd time penalty but great jumping – and Grace went like a rocket – jumped splendidly double clear but a tad too fast………on a day when many failed to make the time!!  Catriona was 13th individually (hundreds in it) and she and Grace were also 2nd in the Working Hunter – and her In the Pink Veteran class was very strong but her 22 year old (not Grace but can’t remember his name – so sorry) was a very good 2nd.  So – a good day, and they looked extremely smart in Club colours – well done all!
