Committee Meeting 27/01/10

The committee met to discuss the schedule for the forth coming season. As Myerscough College cancelled our booking for Good Friday we have had to rearrange. Although an alternative venue was researched we could not find one available. The first show will therefore be held on 11th April at Witton Park.

Affiliations for the season were approved and we are pleased to announce that RVRC has been awarded qualifiers for The Royal International Horse Show for the Skewbald and Piebald Ridden Classes. (Please see "Show Dates" for details of which qualifiers are held and when).

Novelties will be held in Ring 2 in the Lunch Break and prizes are sponsored by Jane Howarth and will be £1/class to enter.

Margery Comer and Barbara Gorden announced their retirement from the committee.

We welcomed two new Committee Members who are Hollie Feltz and Hannah Jones.

A suggestion to add a Sports Horse/Pony inhand class was passed and will be included in the 2010 schedule.

Two proposals for Honorary Life Members were suggested and passed and these are: Margery Comer and Peter Wilkinson.

The working hunter classes are going to change to include a class for open ponies up to 153 cms for any breed or type and rider any age. We will also be lowering the jump heights.

A suggestion to increase the size of ring 2 and change the entrance due to health and safety.
