Hi to all
My name is Gillian Hennessy and I am Secretary of Thomastown & District Riding Club.
2010 has been a very successful year for the Club with weekly wins and placings by club members since last January at both regional and national level. We also won the South East Regional “Club of the Year” at this years Awards Night and have been short listed to the final four for this years Lancelot Awards which is handed down by the AIRC. I feel we are continuing to grow and our name is well and truly established in the South East Region and the AIRC. We also achieved wins and placings at the National Hunter Trials, AIRC Festival, National Show Jumping Championships, National One Day Event Championships and the Hoofprints One Day Event League. We should again be very proud of the achievements by our members who have represented the Club with great pride and horsemanship week in week out.
We also ran some clinics during year which proved to be very enjoyable by all and which we plan to continue to run again in 2011 along with some more. What we ran this year for our members was as follows:
February 2010 – Dressage Clinic with Ivan Kelly in Mount Juliet.
March 2010 – SJ Clinic with Francis Connors in Mount Juliet
May 2010 – Fun Day Ride Out in Borris House.
Weekly Club lessons in Mount Juliet Equestrian Centre every Wednesday night with all three disciplines catered for.
A very successful Show in June with SJ and Dressage in Raheen-Na-Gun.
September - Core Stability/Strength class with Qualified Gym Instructor/Dressage Rider in Ormonde Leisure Centre.
6th November - Club fun ride out in Mount Juliet with lunch.
19th November – Social outing – Bowling at McDonagh Junction with Christmas drinks after.
29th December – Club fun ride out in Mount Juliet with lunch and drinks.
To all our members I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to another successful year for our Club. If any member should need any help at any time please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you.
Also with our website, which is well and truly established and used by a large number of members and clubs, you can all get up to the minute updates on shows, cancellations and anything else that is of interest to members, so there is no need to be missing out on anything this year.
So may I wish you all a very happy and safe 2011 in the AIRC circuit and keep the colours flying for Thomastown & District Riding Club.
Best Wishes for 2011
