CHAIRMAN’S FAREWELL REPORT
Seasons greetings to you all, I write with sadness as this is my last report but also excitement at all the events we have done recently and a new year in the offing. Staffordshire is blessed with an extremely vibrant horse community and it has been an absolute pleasure to live and work in Staffs the last 12 years, 11 of which have involved being on the BHS Staffordshire Committee and the last 6 as Chairman. I’m off to Northumberland to work as Assistant Principle at their land based college and am looking forward to new challenges and areas to get to know, I leave behind an excellent committee and a team that although all volunteers have found the time and energy to put on numerous events each year as well as all the work on welfare, safety and access.
Recently we had a positive annual meeting and have held successful introduction to dressage and first aid evenings. Planning is already underway for our annual summer show on Marquis Drive which has been well supported the last few years.
I know all this activity will continue and I wish everyone I have had the pleasure of meeting over the course of the last 12 years all the best for the future and thanks for all the support I have been shown. Thanks to my fantastic committee, their friendship and for all the hard work over the years.
On behalf of everyone at BHS Staffordshire can I wish you a wonderful xmas period and all the best for the new year for you and your equine friends ! and hopefully you will both get to some of our events in 2010.
Marcus Clinton
Chairman – BHS Staffs
