Our Winter season Tuesday evening instructional rides at Warwickshire College alternate weekly between jump and flat lessons.

Our regular jump trainer, Derrick, is sadly very poorly at the moment and we send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

With Derrick signed off sick for the foreseeable future I have discussed various options with a number of members and there seems general agreement for trying a mix of instructors on these Tuesday evening slots with variety of names already put forward.

We would very much like to keep the momentum going whilst Derrick is putting his energy into recovery so if you are interested in joining us on Tuesday evenings and have any suggestions for instructors please get in touch via training@stoneleighridingclub.co.uk

Hopefully we will see many of you at the Riders Meeting where we will get the opportunity to chat about some of the ideas that we have for training events during 2008.

More importantly we would like to hear your thoughts and ideas!

• What type of sessions/clinics would you be interested in attending?
• Which instructors would you like us to approach?
• What are your thoughts on the venues in our area?
• How much do you feel we should charge for lessons?
• Do you think that SRC should subsidise training for it’s members?
• Are you interested in taking RC grade tests?
• Any other thoughts…?

If you are not able to join us at the Riders Meeting the please post your comments here.

Hop to see you soon.
Cath
