Dates

20/21st September 2 Day Camp – Lyneham Heath Equestrian, Lyneham, nr Shipton-u-Wychwood

2 DAY TRAINING CAMP
The venue and trainers are now all booked and we expect to have three groups of four, with the option to increase to four groups depending on demand. The date is 20/21st September at Lyneham, near Shipton-under-Wychwood (www.lynehamheathequestrian.co.uk) using all the facilities i.e. indoor school, outdoor school, outdoor show jumping area and the cross-country course. The training will run over two days, but will not include a competition as the training will probably be enough to cope with on its own! The instructors are as follows;
Sophie Martindale (accredited British Eventing trainer www.eventingspecialist.org.uk )
Ginny Howe (already to known to club members www.ginnyhowe-eventing.co.uk )
Marie Kent nee Smith (Senior Instructor at Talland School of Equitation www.talland.net)
They are extremely high calibre and all experienced with the requirements of Riding Club training so these two days should be very rewarding as well as fun! Cost will be £115 for approx 8 hours of training, so do get working on your and your horse’s fitness! Groups will be based on jumping height/ability rather than flatwork.
Please use the booking form attached with this newsletter. A £50 non-returnable deposit is required to secure your place by 31st August, with full balance due by 10th September. This is a costly training exercise, so the club will loose money if all places are not filled. If you do drop out last minute – your deposit will only be refunded if your place can be taken by someone else, so for this reason we will operate a reserve list. But remember - first come, first served for places.

Booking procedure for training events

• These are only available to fully paid up members of West Oxfordshire RC
• Please complete a booking form (sent in Welcome Packs) for each training session and return it to the relevant organiser. Booking forms are not specific to each individual training event, therefore please ensure you include the relevant information about you and your horse’s ability
• All bookings are on a first come, first served basis.
• Full payment must be received 14 days before an event.
• Please do not turn up at a training event unless you have heard from the event organiser. If you have not heard; then ring to confirm your place. For whatever reason it may be, your booking form might not have been received. It is unfair to the trainer to have more than he/she anticipated in a class.
• No refunds will be given for cancellations made less than 7 days before an event, unless your space is filled.
• Payment by cheque; when booking more than one event, please send a separate cheque for each event
• If you are unable to attend an event, please contact the organiser immediately
