Dressage training 2008

(organiser: Alison Armstrong 01749 675479/ 07881 784766)

 

Training will start after Easter for those interested in competing in Mendip dressage teams this summer. This is initially for those aiming for National Novice level and above and will be taken by Helen Griffiths. There will be two initial sessions at which Helen would like to see all those interested in training and selection for teams. These will be held at Redmond Bottom farm, Easton on Tuesday 25th March and Tuesday 8th April from 4-7pm  ( 1 hr sessions) cost £8. Please sign up for at least one of these by completing the form below and sending it with payment to Alison by 20th March 08.

 

If you are unable to make these dates, please just send the form to Alison to let her know that you are interested in being considered for teams.

 

 Training will then continue at Redmond Bottom farm from 22nd April 5.30-7.30 fortnightly. For those who find this too far south to travel after school, Helen teaches regularly on a Wednesday evening further north in the area and is happy to accommodate other members on Wednesdays. Please phone her on 07850 801254 to arrange this (and please also let Alison know too!).
