Dear All …
Congratulations to all the Flint & Denbigh members that have qualified for the championships today at the area competition held at Dyfnog.
Everyone I saw was very well turned out and a credit to our branch.
Chris Leahy has done a fantastic job organising training with Jane Gough Robeerts, Lee Williams & Louise Shepherd, so THANK YOU to Chris and all the trainers for preparing all the F&D competitors so well.
The training has been going on throughout the year and takes a great deal of time & effort to organise.
I must also thank all parents, members & friends of The Branch for all your time in helping to put on this competition. A lot of you turned up on Friday evening to set up the course. I had a fantastic group of parents, members and ex pony club members that helped out on the day, to supervise car parking, arena party, practice fence stewards, commentators, score board writters, the job list is never ending. But Thank you all as it made the day such a success.
I hope you all enjoyed the day and Good Luck to you in the Championships.
