Very exciting news for ECCTG members!

We have teamed up with Hope Valley Saddlery – Somerford to offer our members a discount when you buy in store on the days of our competitions. Each member will be given a discount voucher card, that needs to be picked up from the secretary at our Somerford competitions, to then use in the Hope Valley shop.

For every member competing at the Dressage this weekend, make sure you pick up your voucher from Ann Harrison! This weekend’s offer applies to Eskadron, LeMieux, Pikeur and Sprenger products.

Big thank you to Hope Valley Saddlery & happy shopping everyone!

All those who have not yet paid their membership will have to pay non-member rates at competitions until they have renewed. Membership is £30, via cheque made payable to “ECCTG” or payment can be made via Horse Monkey here.

Don’t forget, our AGM and presentation evening takes place at Smallwood Primary School on Friday 29th January. Tickets for the presentation supper are £5 (available here or via a committee member – please let us know asap if you are coming). Bring your own drinks/glasses!

Please note the updated standards regarding hats at BRC competitions. These took effect from 1st January 2016 and it is riders’ responsibility to ensure their hats meet the new standards. Random checks may be carried out and competitors will not be allowed to compete in hats not to the correct standard.

A reminder of our general tack and turnout rules can be found here.

This is just a reminder about the AGM and Presentation Evening will be on Friday 29th January 2016 at 7.30pm at Smallwood Primary School, Smallwood. Please try to attend to voice your views and make any suggestions!! The presentation evening will take place after the AGM.

To attend the AGM is free, and then a £5.00 for the presentation evening to include supper, please send Alison Unwin a cheque or pay via Horse Monkey if you would like to attend.

If you would like to stand for the ECCTG Committee and you feel that you can give up some time to support the Club and attend approximately six meetings a year, then please contact Alison on 01625 619194 or alpaulunwin@tiscali.co.uk. She needs to know as soon as possible, so she can put your name on the ballot paper.

MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL. A number of members have still not renewed, please renew by the 13th February 2016 or you will no longer be a club member and therefore not eligible or insured to compete.
