news on how the Show went and to see the results. The Winter Ball was once again a resounding success, with a lot of fun had by all. This year for the first time we had a photographer in attendance and some lovely pictures were taken on the grand staircase. This event originally intended to be bi-annual has become so popular that we have to continue holding it annually. The food, as ever, was excellent and the dancing was once again ably led by our Chairman, who certainly knows his way around a dance floor !! A big big thank you to all our guests for their generous support of the Raffle, which enables us to donate so generously to our equine charities. This really is a lovely social curtain raiser to our season and we look forward to welcoming you all again in 2009. ...........................................

About us... The Northern Counties Pony Association has been around for just over 40 years and was set up with the main aims of supporting shows and showing and promoting education and knowledge of all things Equestrian. The formation of the Leicestershire and Rutland Branch at the end of 2006 has brought the number of Branches to 11. Due to the excessively wet summer this year, their first show had to be postponed from July to 30 September but they had a great show with lovely weather. The association sends out frequent Newsletters to Members and a Journal once a year. There is also a Pony Register which allows members to register their animals for life at a one off fee of £10.00. This enables them to compete in the Register Classes at Branch Shows and take part in the Annual Points Awards, presented at the AGM every March. The Derbyshire Branch Committee consists of: Mr John Elliott ~ CHAIRMAN Mrs Pam Ashton ~ TREASURER Mrs Jayne McAuliffe ~ BRANCH AND SHOW SECRETARY Mrs Billie Harding ~ SHOW SECRETARY Welcome
to Rebecca Knight, Shows for 2008 are as follows:
We also intend to hold at least one Training Day per year. Our main social event is the Winter Ball. This year it will be held on 22 February at the lovely and historic Hassop Hall, near Bakewell. This has quickly become a major social occasion and despite our initial intention to hold it bi-annually we have been persuaded to hold it annually. We actively support Equine Charities like the ILPH, The Brook Hospital and Riding for the Disabled. We are a small Committee, frequently stretched to the limit and are continually looking for likely candidates to help, either by joining us on the Committee or by helping out on Show days. |
