We have been invited by Hopetoun Estates to hold a club recruiting display at this year’s Hopetoun International Horse Trials on 28 & 29 July. The aim will be to have a number of club vehicles on display, two short Tyro trials courses (operated under an MSA Tyro Taster event permit) where prospective new members can be driven on a few sections by “highly skilled” club members (using the club members’ vehicles), to get some idea of what we are all about. Armed with the club caravan, some photos/DVDs of all our events, a pile of membership forms and some enthusiasm, we hope to encourage a few of the expected 7,000 visitors to join us. If you fancy coming along to help on either or both days, please contact:
Donald Urquhart at dsurquhart@hotmail.co.uk or on 07774 828269 or
Andy Taylor at andyt08@blueyonder.co.uk or on 07554 444356.
For those of you who have horse mad families, there is also an opportunity to marshal on the (horse trials) pedestrian crossing points and get a ringside seat to an internationally acclaimed event. You can park your car next to the crossing point, put on the kettle and will be issued with a marshal’s pass, packed lunch and your very own whistle. Junior marshals must be aged 14 or over and be accompanied by a parent or guardian (of robust attitude). If you have any queries please get in touch.
