Training for 2012

Dear all

The Official Stewards training weekend has been booked for 18 & 19 February 2012.

The Banbury House Hotel (OX16 9AH) and conference facilities will be used there.  Crown Farm at Ascott Under Wychwood (OX7 6AB) will be used for the practical sessions.  The cost for the weekend is £125 per delegate, we can send 3 people free of charge.  Two of these places I am reserving for Mary and Jann if you think you can do it or know someone within your club then let me know ASAP.  If you go, then you will be expected to stand in for Mary and Jann as the Offical Steward at the Area competitions (if they can not do it), and you must be prepared to help at the Championships.  

Area 4 managed to obtain the 5 places for the Steward Training weekend, apparently it was over subscribed causing HQ to ballot, therefore Mary, Jann, Margaret, Sharon and myself will be attend the training the weekend after the indoor S.J. so if you want us to raise any topics then please let us know on Monday. Training in hat tagging will be the hot topic and how we will do it before the qualifiers might need to be discussed I think that between the 5 of us we may need to come to your club shows where we can tag them prior to the qualifiers as I think this will have a knock on event with the RC insurance, i.e. if you are running a club event and an accident occurs was the rider wearing a hat that was suitable.

Cheers Richard
