Welcome to the 2010 season! We are all geared up and ready to go. You can find the membership form for this year by clicking here, please note that yet again there is NO PRICE INCREASE in either membership or entry fees!
I am proud to be back as your chairman in what’s now my 4th year. I want us all to go forward as a team and help make BRC an even more fantastic club than we already are! I’m sure you will welcome our new committee members (as well as the old ones!).We are all around on show days, please feel free to have a chat to any of us. It goes without saying that I know you will treat them with respect. Please listen if they ask you to do something (or not!) on show day. They are doing it for the good of the club!
You can download the newsletter here. For our junior members you can download your junior newsletter here, with a crossword. here, with a crossword!
EMAIL ALERT!
If you receive your newsletter by snail mail, this is the last one you will receive. We have to consider all the environmental issues, and it’s just not necessary in this day and age to rely on printed news every month. You can sign up for our mailing list on the website. Updates are also available on Facebook and Twitter. All forms (pre entry, member, newsletter) can be printed directly off our website. If you do not have web access (surely not!), please ask a friend to print your forms from our site.
ROSETTES TO 8TH PLACE!
Good news for you rosette hunters out there: Bridgewater Riding Club is becoming the first riding club that places every class down to 8th place! The points system remains the same (see schedule booklet when you receive your membership after joining), but every class will now place all the way down to 8th. The junior committee are choosing rosette colours as we speak. The start of a new tradition!
WE ARE LOOKING FOR COVER STARS!
Everyone remember last year’s schedule cover? Well, you have the opportunity again to be a cover star! Email your pictures to ruthclifton@msn.com and we will select the best ones to go on the cover! Closing date is 1st March, so we have time to get it all printed. Best of Luck!!
MEMBERSHIPS – REMEMBER YOUR CARD!
It’s really worth joining BEFORE the shows begin, and save a lot of stress and queueing on first show day morning in the caravan. That way you will be sent your pre entry form every month to fill in and return so all you have to do on show morning is collect your number. When you receive your membership card, keep it safe! Carry it with you in your jacket pocket, as for Highest Placed Member shows you will need it in the ring. We will also need your membership number when you make entries, so keep that card safe!
We will be strict about enforcing this, as last year we had a few people paying member entry rates when they were non members. Hmm. It only takes a couple of mean spirited people to spoil it. So make sure you carry your card, please! Ok, enough lecture.
Make sure you read the junior committee newsletter and get those memberships in. See you at Easter!
