We recently held our AGM at the Yorkvale Motel near Pocklington.  Lots of members turned up and we had a special visit from the Area 4 Chairman Mr Richard Thompson.  We had an interesting meeting with lots of positive feedback.  The Committee would like to thank all our members who have supported us this year and we are very much looking forward to 2010!

At the AGM Linda Gibson resigned from her position as committee member.  Linda had been on Ebor Vale comittee for many years and her contribution to the club will be greatly missed.  Fran Ackerley has become a comittee member who has taken on the memberships.  Fiona Raynor is now the Area 4 team organiser and for the full list of who's who on your comittee click here!  Your Committee!

At the AGM we also agreed to have a new field "club house" and have organised for a wooden stable type building to be delivered in early January 2010!!!

Results are available for the Dressage and Combined Training Show held on Sunday 13th Sepetmber 2009.  This was the last show of the season and we had a good turnout again and everyone had a good day.  Thanks go to all the helpers and to our two judges.             See Results.
