Accrington and District Riding Club’s

2009 training/trips programme mapping exercise

We are pleased to announce that Accrington and District Riding Club has secured some grant funding from The Grassroots Fund, which is a fund to enable under 19 year olds to take part in activities. We will be spending some of this funding on a programme of training on Saturdays throughout 2009/10 and on some family (equestrian themed) trips. In order to plan this timetable of activities, we need to know what each and every member of our riding club would like to take part in, please bear in mind we may not be able to accommodate all the requests, simply due to the fact we have over 100 members of varying abilities, but we will try our best to include everything we are asked for.

Could you please complete this form and either hand it in to the entry tent at any of our June or July 09 shows or post to: Gillian Smith, Town Bent Fold, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, BB5 3QH.All forms must be received back before Friday  31st July 2009.
