Welcome to September

GISBORNE N E W S L E T T E R S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 3

G D A R C

Well the year is flying past and as Sep-

tember draws to a head, we are finally

getting some gorgeous rays of sunshine

and more hours of ponies wearing less

and less.

It’s a never ending job of getting rid of

those winter coats that seem to be com-

ing out in masses and it’s making me

wish that even though Felix had four

months off, it would have been easier on

my hands if he had been clipped.

We haven’t had a club newsletter for a

while as the club’s regular editor,

Sarah, has been having a break and en-

joying motherhood. I’ve stepped in to

fill the spot prior to our new committee

being elected at next month’s AGM.

A few months to catch up on, so loads of

results in this issue and it’s super to see

how the club has grown from strength to

strength with so many new faces out

there competing and attending rally

days.

It’s not too hard to say that we’re on our

way to becoming an incredibly strong

and competitive club as well as one of

the biggest in the state.

Rider’s Results from May - September

Ok, so many sensational results from so many club members to add in this month, so please forgive me if I’ve left anyone out and we’ll get you in the next issue. Remember, it’s lovely to have a pick or two so please send them into your newsletter editor as you compete.

There were so many results from throughout the year that they are in no particular order. Some peo-ple have sent in their results from over quite a few months but you need to remember that in order to be counted in the end of the year results competi-tion, they have to be sent to the club secretary prior to the end of August.
