Entry fees for 2013/14 competitions

Due to rising costs in facility hire, the committee have had to raise entry fees in order to ensure the club remains viable. The new entry fees will be £12 for dressage and £10 for show jumping. Combined training (including entry into separate dressage and show jumping classes) will cost £25. An additional £2 is payable if entries are made after the closing date for dressage or on the day for show jumping. Non-members will be charged an additional £4 per class. These new prices will take effect with the start of the 2013/14 programme.
