decided that times will only be available on this website.

Important
Dressage Times
Please note that the FDRC is an over 18s only club, and only those people (members or non members) over 18 will be permitted to take part in any
FDRC activities. The only exception to this rule is coach trips.
Reminder!!
Please note that trainers/assistants/grooms are NOT permitted in the warm-up area of any FDRC competition at any time. If they absolutely must
assist, they should be correctly attired with the appropriate standard of head protection.
Club Shop
The club clothing shop is still active, any item can be ordered and paid for by Paypal. Please click on this LINK to see the shop.
Payments for Clinics
We are still experiencing difficulty with members needing 'encouragement' to pay for their clinics. Please note that clinics are to be PAID FOR
IN ADVANCE. There is often no opportunity for members to pay for clinics on the night, regardless of this, instructors and venue hire still have
to be paid. If a situation arises where a rider has paid for a clinic, but cannot attend the clinic and cancels before the 5 day cut off period, then
the money is quickly and easily refundable. Please assist us in this, the committee all have busy lives, and chasing members for payments is
not how they choose to spend their free time.
Please use the booking calendars where at all possible, for showjumping clinics as well as flatwork. Using this facility gives the opportunity to pay instantly, as well as choosing your own time slot.

Showjumping Competitions
Sadly, our showjumping competitions had to be cancelled in 2011 from lack of support. The committee had decided to run quarterly
competitions at Northop to replace them, hopefully attracting larger numbers. However, on enquiring about potential arena hire from Northop,
during our enquiry, the college decided to run their own showjumping competitions, which further limits arena time available to us. Therefore,
it has been decided that we will not be adding to the list of showjumping competitions with our own. There are monthly competitions on
Saturdays at Northop until May 2012. Please find a schedule for these competitions on this link
FDRC Fun Dog Show
Thank you to all members who came to the FDRC
fun Christmas Dog show! The event was well
supported, everyone sampled the mince pies and
mulled wine, and all had a good time!
Alll dogs behaved impeccably, (except mine). The agility was great fun, and all had a go. Fetch the sausage was hilarious, with a few dogs fetching the sausage intact, but then not allowing their owners to have it, which resulted in a huge game and lots of laughter!
The best dressed dog class was amazing! The competitors had gone to enormous efforts to make such lovely costumes, there are some (not very good) photos for all to see opposite.
It was lovely to see you all, and have a happy christmas!

Dressage League 2011 presentation - followed by judges' discussion evening
Congratulations to the winners of the 2011 FDRC Dressage League! Prizes will be awarded on Wednesday 18th January at
