// PRESIDENT S REPORT // FROM THE EDITOR Hi Everyone, Well time has gone very quickly since Xmas. I hope you have all been able to get plenty of riding in with the weather not being too hot. The Christmas break up was a lot of fun, thank you to Sally for organizing the handy mount course. Hopefully we will be able to get more practice in throughout the year with the ball, the bridge and the black hole!!!!! Congratulations to Martina for her amazing effort in getting around the course in record time, no wonder she does well in cross country! Our Official Combined Training Day in March will be on us very quickly, we need help once again - penciling, canteen etc. and donations for the raffle. All members will be allocated jobs very soon so if there is anything in particular you would like to do please give Diana a call. Also, TTT combined training at Bulla will be two weeks later. A great opportunity to ride at our day followed by TTT (you can t lose!). Please contact Leanne for entry to TTT. Cheers, Chris Williamson Hi Everyone, On the cover this month is Simone & Rocky who had a fantastic day at TTT Show in December taking out the reserve High Point in their section.
