Apologies for the delay in writing this message again I have found myself rather busy today 🙈
At the AGM yesterday the membership in attendance was given an update as to the current standing of the club and held a vote on what they would like to happen moving forward.
Myself and Teri are both stepping off the committee as of last night. Teri has a young family and working 60hrs a week can no longer commit to the club, and I myself have moved out of the area and between work, my family and my own personal commitments find myself drawn too thin to continue and frankly after the abuse I’ve had sent mine and Teri’s way by a small minority today I am mighty glad i am stepping down it has truly made me question the horse community. Please remember when no volunteers are left it will be because of how they were treat.
Anyway there was no one on the membership who wished to immediately step up to run the club, however a few of the membership felt they may be able to revive and relaunch the club in 2024 and the membership voted that this is what they would like to happen.
This means the club will stand in limbo for a year, there is a group being put together of people interested in relaunching the club in 2024 and if you would genuinely like to be a part of a new committee please message the page and I’ll make sure you are added to that group as I’ve offered to aid in the handover/limbo time. All parties that need to be added will be to that group including our landowner Natasha.
Keep an eye on the page as the group hoping to do a relaunch may run a one off event next year or even some online things we just don’t know at this time and they will be added to the page so they can start advertising etc.
With regards to trophies I have made the suggestion and Interested parties agreed last night they will be kept until 2024 by last years winners, at which point if the club has been relaunched they will be requested back in for the new winners to then receive them. I have a list of all winners and this will be passed on so we know where all the trophies are that we have had back. Can I remind people that a donation gives something to the club it is not yours to request back and there are far too many donations, from far before my time to track them all I am only human!
I will do my best to keep an eye on the page to answer questions I can, but as I’ve said above there is a reason I’m stepping down so it may take me some time to reply to messages.
