The programme for 2013/14 will be out shortly. In the meantime, check out the calendar for details of the events in April (Easter Show Jumping, FOTH Qualifier and training with Duncan Smith).

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.

If any member who has not already contacted Libby wishes to take part in the Festival of the Hunter Challenge 90 or the Challenge 100 please let her know by the end of this week. FOTH is the one where you jump a set of show jumps then head directly out on the cross country – all details of heights and widths are on the BRC website, in the Rule Book, or contact Libby with any queries – 01477 532916 or e-mail e.richards@btinternet.com. The area qualifier is on April 14^th 2013 at Smallwood Livery Centre. The  championships if we qualify are the first weekend in June, at Aston le Walls.

We have created a new form to help our Chef d’Equipes gather information from members wishing to represent the club at area and national competitions. If you are interested in representing the club, please let the relevant Chef d’Equipe(s) know (their contact details are on the Committee page) and complete the Team Application Form (on the new Downloads page). Details of all the ways you can represent the club at regional and national level are available through our ‘Being in a team‘ page.

Please note the new ‘Downloads‘ section (with a main link at the top of each page)  for all information sheets and forms you may need. If any members have any comments about the website / further improvement suggestions, please send feedback to webmaster@ecctg.com.
