1 Horse Whispers Macclesfield Pony Club Newsletter August 2012 President s Report Hi All, Photos from July Rally Rebekah Sanders Well, the July rally was a good one, all be it a bit chilly! We had about 20 riders so all the groups were a nice size and as we had excellent instructors all riders got a lot out of each lesson.

The stands are also for sale with a percentage going to our club so if you can't wait till December get in now and buy yourself an early Xmas pressie! We are still looking for members who can help with any of our extra activities that we have planned. We have the Combined Training Day in October, our Annual November Challenge, our Xmas Rally and our Australia Day Show Jumping. These are important days in our calendar and all support from all our members is important, without this it is the children who suffer as these wonderful events just won't happen. The more help we have, the easier it will be for all. So come on Mums and Dads let's get these fun days happening! Sam. President By Lee Dixon.
