News Flash

I do not have any details but Marion reports that all our dressage competitors have returned from this years championships with rosettes.   I think that deserves a great big WELL DONE to all the riders &  grooms helpers & support teams. Particularly in view of the reported weather.

Dressage

MINI DRESSAGE COMPETITION ON THE SATURDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER 

This year our mini dressage competition is being made a little larger to include a wider range of tests. We are planning to hold a Walk and Trot test, two Prelims, two Novices, and an Elementary / Medium judged on percentage.

This competition is to encourage genuine novices or those who just fancy having a go at a harder test than they would normally compete at, - at a low key friendly venue. It is held at Netherwood Lodge Farm in Chadwick End. Tests are held on a surface, warm up being on a surface and/or flat field depending on numbers.

Tests to be £6.00 for SRC members, £8.00 for others. SRC members and Netherwood Livery customers to have priority.

Schedule to follow, but you can contact Kate Matterson on 07967 378936 in the meantime.

Danielle Lyon

Danielle as you know the two cheques you issued to cover the cost of your membership & the training session have both been bounced, with the comment ” Account Closed”

It transpires that you closed this account last year, so I must assume you issued the cheques to us with full knowledge of the fact that we would not be get the funds added to our account. 

The fact that you have not had the common decency to even contact us despite all our efforts to speak to you leaves us no alternative but to now notify all of our members that your actions have effected of this selfish act.  Riding Clubs Office have also been informed & your membership cancelled.       We hope you are pleased with  yourself.

Wanted

I really would like to speak to Daniel Lyon at her earliest convenience,  if anyone knows  where or how  she can be contacted, other than her mobile which she doesn’t answer, or her email address which bounces every contact.  I would prefer her to contact me if she cares at all.
