Dear Members

 

Well it would appear that I’m having a very lucky streak…. Our 1st ever placing at Woodnook Dressage. 4th in both tests!!!  The blood, sweat and tears (mine not Hora’s) are finally starting to pay off!  I am looking forward to this weekend and the Mary King lesson, just hoping that the Snow does not lead to the lesson being cancelled.  The Curry and Cards night was very successful and we raised just over £400 to put towards new show jumps. Thank you to John Eaton for being Bruce and to all the members and friends who came and made the evening a success. Oh, I won at cards too!!!!  (Lottery ticket requires purchasing I think) 

 

 

Race Night 27th February – Meltham Cricket Club

Due to unforeseen circumstances this evening has been postponed.  New date will be in a future newsletter.

GOOD HOMES WANTED

For one reason or another this year's entry, (as in pups who are between 12 months & 2 years) don't all seem to be going what one might call "the right way", and to be frank I have about 4, if not one or two more, who as far as I can see are not going to ever be anything other than pets.  I'm not asking you to re-home them, but to put your thinking caps on as to anyone you might know, or their friends even (I really am that desperate) who may be able & willing to provide a home and a lot of love for a young beagle or maybe, and it's always nicer if they go in pairs, 2?

Please please see what you can do, email me for pictures if you think you could help...
