2 D C REPORT Ho Ho Ho!! Welcome to the December Rally guys! I know we say this every rally but isn t this year just going so quickly! It has been an amazing year so far and we hope to continue into 2014 with the same positive attitude and great riding that we have seen so far. December rally is normally run a little differently however we had access to some fabulous instructors for Sunday and it was an offer we couldn t refuse. We think the best Christmas present we can give our members are some very highly sought after guest instructors. They can give you some great tips and tricks so you can keep progressing over the holiday break. This rally we are welcoming in Nina and lyod, and. We are very excited (and very lucky) to have them back with us again for the second time this year. These instructors are normally a once a year treat so to have them booked twice in only 6 months is really a big privilege for our members. We hope you can all make it! CMPC Annual Show is fast approaching (take two) which means it s time to start rolling up the sleeves and help out. The more people we can have involved the better! There is a job for everybody and no bit of assistance is too small! Lastly, we would like to say how proud we are of each and every member who is out there competing and representing not only our club, but our zone. It is a wonderful thing to look at countless draws and competition lists and be flooded with CMPC members. Our riders are spending countless hours at home training and all your hard work is showing. Keep up the great work! We wish all our members, parents and ponies the most wonderful Christmas and holiday break. Looking forward to seeing everybody on Sunday! Rach and Megan
