Christmas Message from Cynthia Robinson

Dear Members,

As 2019 draws to a close, I would just like to say a massive thank  you to all our members who have been  very active this year and again very successful.   We have had seniors and juniors representing ECRC at various BRC National Championships (we even have a National Style champion, who was part of the Winning Area 19 team)!

What was new this year?  We introduced a wider range of training clinics at affordable prices.   These are open to all our members and all abilities and 2020 dates have now been uploaded to the website.  We started an endurance squad and we are actively seeking new team members to join.  If you  love hacking  this is a great opportunity to ride through some stunning locations .  Club clothing is now also available with details on our website.  It will be lovely to see members out and about in the new gear and promoting the club. To all of the ECRC committee your help and support over this last year has been invaluable . We had to say goodbye to three members , who will be a great loss to the club.  If anyone is looking to join the committee, please contact anyone of us for more info. We strive to be an inclusive club and welcoming for everyone.  And last but not least – a huge thank you to our volunteers, both members and non members.  We cannot run our events without you and you have been truly amazing through 2019.

So what is new for 2020?  Watch out for details of our new junior camp at Centyfield; and for details of our coach trips to the best national equine events. Keep checking our website for news and updates.

Thank you , for all your support over 2019.  We wish you all a happy and successful 2020 . Happy  Christmas to you all.

Cynthia Robinson ECRC Chair
