This is a summary of upcoming events that have been organised for members in 2011/12...

2012 EVENTS
 
CLINICS
  
Clinics will involve two instructors in 2012....
 
Jane Portas and Becky Mullan-Feroze.
 
You may book a half hour slot for an individual lesson or an hours slot if you wish to have a group lesson of up to four of you. The group lessons have been very popular and very useful to help you horse get used to being ridden in company and of course they are fun. The lesson will take into account the needs of all riders so you will be safe and not asked to do anything you are uncomfortable with.
 
Jane's Clinics 
Swathwick Farm, Swathwick Lane, Wingerworth, Chesterfield, S42 6QP.
 
Individual lessons 30 minutes costing £7-50. (The club contributes £5.00 on top of this) 
Group lessons available by arrangement.
 
 
Becky's Clinics
Old Farm, Warmwells Lane, Ripley, Derbyshire, DE5 8JB
 
Individual lessons 45 minutes costing £12 (The club contributes £6-75 on top of this)
Group lessons (max 4) 1 hour (£15/group) (The club contributes £10 on top of this)
 
If you find for genuine reasons you cannot make a slot booked by yourself, let us know immediately and try your best to find a replacement. We will try to help where possible (there may be a waiting list)  If the slot can't be filled, then you will have to pay the full price as the club will not subsidise an empty slot.
In the event of poor weather, please contact the organiser to check if the clinics are still on.
