Catching up on club activities
With action on several different fronts over the past 10 days, it’s easy enough to move on to something new without pausing to reflect on what’s just happened. Audrey and Tanya’s bowls night in Ramelton recently was a wonderful social evening with the kind of tight competition, scarcely controlled egos and rapid-fire quips that defiedContinue reading “Catching up on club activities”

Friday nights in Templemore are booked fairly solidly by one of the pony clubs so Cormac has had to think creatively about pre-league jumping lessons in the arena. In a change from routine, lessons will take place on Monday 7 October and Monday 21 October, and will be run jointly for ourselves and the Inishowen Riding Club.Continue reading “Jumping lessons with Jackie, Monday evenings, Templemore”

Funds will go to children’s cancer care unit who have cared soContinue reading “Quick update and dates for your diary”
Bundoran 2013
Despite the weather our club’s annual trip away was a very enjoyable weekend filled with adventurous routes through unknown territory though the sand dunes, beach rides, cross country, good food and great craic. This year’s choice of venue at Stracomer Stables ensured we were not going to be beaten by the weather. As the weekendContinue reading “Bundoran 2013”
Treasure hunting and jumping our way into autumn
How time flies. September beckons this weekend and the club’s quiet period will end as activity steps up in the autumn.

Select groups of members turned out to hunt treasure with FrancisContinue reading “Treasure hunting and jumping our way into autumn”
