The Club AGM – Thursday 15th October
Information regarding the AGM was published last week, however one item on the agenda you may want to think about is the recruitment of a couple of additional COC’s.
The Club currently has a good team of helpers but is mindful that we need to prepare for the future and get new volunteers on board, not necessarily to run Trials in 2027, but to shadow experienced COC’s.
A COC Seminar is being held in Otterbourne on Saturday 5th December. Please get in touch if you are interested via the Club email.
Hut Hill Fencing Day – Saturday 17th October - Postpones. New date to be confirmed.
Members Practice Day – 24th October at Oakridge Copse -For Solo and Sidecars.
At the request of our members, we have added another Practice Day to our calendar at Oakridge Copse on Saturday 24th October.
These events are ideal for newcomers and riders looking for a gentle days sport – nothing too challenging.
Adults £15.00 and Youth Members no charge.
Entry is via the link: https://acu.sport80.com/wizard/event/208454/home
