The Chamber of Commerce is again putting on the community Christmas event. The club has been invited to decorate a Xmas tree and promote their club at this event, which will be on display Nov 30, Dec. 7, 14, & 21. Mary Nairn volunteered to help with this, Brenda has all the decorations and photos for the display. If anyone else would like to help out please contact Mary at 832-0018. This is possibly your last chance to get somevolunteer hours

Fun Days

Suggestions were brought forward on increasing the number of classes at our Fun Days. It would be possible to add another Western Pleasure and English Pleasure class, which would not qualify for points. These classes would be divided into two age groups 13 & under, and 14 and over. Riders would have a chance to compete against different riders. It’s all for fun and experience and to get more bang for your buck!

A suggestion of having a punch card system so riders could ride in four Fun Days and get the fifth free was discussed and turned down. It was thought that it would create quite a headache for the entry secretary, punch cards would be lost undoubtedly, and we didn’t want this carried over into the next season. It was thought that the Fun Days are being kept at a very low cost and perhaps adding more classes would attract more riders and participation. It was also suggested to have random draws made for prizes, and this would be up to the organizer of each event to determine if they want to do it.

Anyone is welcome to attend an Executive Meeting, we need to hear your voice, your opinions and your vote.
