JUNE/JULY NEWSLETTER
Hello all!
I feel like I’ve been away from all this for ages…. I’ve just got back from my honeymoon in Rome! 40 degrees and beautiful, the Eternal City is well worth a visit (wouldn’t want to ride in that heat though)! Many thanks to all of you who wished us well, on the club site and on Facebook. If you are a friend of mine on FB, there are loads of pics and a video or two there. I am being persuaded to put a photo of me arriving on horseback at the Castle on the club website, watch that space!
We had a fab day at the Fun Day, with many requests to hold another. Any suggestions for anything you’d like to see or try, let me know. I’ve been interviewed this month for our Junior newsletter. I notice Billy Twomey got ‘What’s your favourite horse colour?’ while I get ‘How do you deal with any negative comments people may make about the club?’!! Terrifying. A bit Frost/Nixon… But let’s encourage our younger members, they are the club’s future, after all!
So I look forward to seeing you all at the July show, don’t forget your membership cards if you want the highest placed member rosette! It must be with you in the ring, or no rosette.
Don’t forget the JUNIOR NEWSLETTER which can be downloaded here. We have another junior quiz which you download by clicking here.

Congratulations to…. Lynn!!!!
Many of you know committee member Lynn Salmon, usually to be found stewarding the showing ring and proprietor of Whitegate Stud. Well, earlier this year she entered a heat of the Search for a Star Steward competition, one of only 5 held around the country, to find top class stewards for the Search for a Star finals at the Horse of the Year Show in October (see box on right). Lynn won her heat, stewarding everything from ridden ponies to working hunter and went to the final on 18th July at Vale View EC in Melton Mowbray. She worked extremely hard and I’m delighted to tell you she won Reserve Champion! I’m sure you will all wish her well and congratulate her, she represented this club really well at a very prestigious event!
