Presentation Night

The annual presentation night is taking place on Saturday 30th November, starting at 7pm, in the Nova Centre, Prestatyn LL19 7EY.

So if you’ve been to a few of the shows this year and collected a lot of rosettes, come and see if you’ve got a trophy to add to the collection! Or come along to support your friends and family who’ve done well at the shows this year.

Tickets for members are £6 (adult) and £4 (child). Tickets for non-members are £8 (adult) and £6 (child).

Please make cheques payable to ‘Lloc & District Riding Club’ and send to Ruth Thomas, Bod Erw, Rhewl, Mostyn CH8 9HW. Please make sure you state how many tickets you would like and your membership number (if applicable).

Lost!

A couple of people have misplaced items at recent shows – the committee (and the owners!) would be really grateful if you could let us know if anyone has picked them up.

Last Show of the 2013 Season

Hope you all enjoyed the show (and especially the Dog Show) last Sunday?!

We now have just ONE show left in 2013 (!!) on 8th September.

This is a TROPHY SHOW and will also be your last chance to get some membership points. So if you think you’re in the running for a trophy on Presentation Night, get yourself down to the show!

It’s also likely to be one of the last local shows of the summer, so check out the schedule in case there’s any classes for your youngsters or novices, in time for next year’s showing season.

Got any photos from Lloc Show Last Sunday?

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather and came to the show last weekend!

The day got off to a great start with jump wings falling over and handy pony equipment flying across the field. There was a good turnout though and plenty of rosettes and trophies awarded in all parts of the show.

If you’ve got any photos you want to share, you can upload them to the Facebook page directly or in a private message. You can also email them to gwilymhughes@live.co.uk

*** Submit your photos taken at the show on Sunday to be uploaded to the Facebook Page. A new cover photo will be chosen from the uploads next week.***
