AGM, Awards & Trophies

2012 Annual Meeting

The 2012 Annual Meeting was well attended and Heather, our Chairman, ensured that the business meeting was short and efficient.  A number of the Committee were standing down or had moved away and the whole meeting thanked them for their sterling service.  Nominations for new members were invited and Gill Talbot was duly proposed and seconded.  

Heather reported that, despite the appalling summer, Offa's Dyke members had celebrated some notable successes (details of which follow our own Group Awards below).  We had also managed to put on the Autumn Belle ride at just 5 weeks notice through the hard work of Sharon Parr, Chris Wray and their supporting cast.  This was not only a significant achievement but also a welcome relief to all those desperate to ride throughout the summer!  

There then followed the presentation of Trophies and Rosettes for 2012.

Many thanks to Natural Animal Feeds for providing goodie bags to the trophy winners.  It was a very kind gesture that was very much appreciated by all of the winners.
