Well here we are again!!! Christmas!!!! Where did Easter go? I don't know about you but I haven't done any shopping and I am certainly not looking forward to hitting the shops!!! Mayhem and Murder that's what it is!!!!
Before we talk about stepping into the New Year, I must reflect on the old.
We had the last of Improver Shows, which in my opinion were a great success and I hope if we attempt this once again that the support will be just as strong. Congratulations must go to the Hi Point winners of the series as they were all very hotly contested and I am sure that the buckles will be cherished.
Mark Shaffer came to visit our lovely shores again and this year although we had a few repeat attendee's, the clinic was booked out so quickly that most of the people attending were new to the 'Mechanics in Motion' way but by the end of the clinic I think the majority of them were hooked!!! During the clinic I think a shopping spree was also had by many people, bridles, bits, reins and the like, I think everyone went Christmas shopping early for themselves!!!
Thanks must go to my wonderful committee once again, who do a fantastic job in keeping these special events coming. Special Thanks without a shadow of a doubt must go to the well oiled machine of Karen Leoncelli who keeps me sane, or is that insane!!!
Speaking of events, I need our wonderful members to know that it is becoming harder and harder to acquire dates with AQHA approval and therefore we are looking out side the square to ensure that we keep those horses ticking over.
In saying, that JANUARY 31ST should be awesome. Make sure you have yourself primed and ready for a great show at Tonimbuk. The program will be out an about shortly and I am sure that you will find that there is something for everyone!
We are also looking for sponsors for this show so anyone that would like to come aboard and support the show please don't hesitate to do so!!! If you know somebody that has a business or something they want to advertise, let them know that they can support us too!!
The GRAC have taken the opportunity to sponsor the Australian Halter Showcase and the Royal Melbourne Show to get our name out there and support shows were we can, so please get out and support these as although sponsorship is a wonderful thing and greatly appreciated by all of those that are chasing it, if the entries are not viable then our fantastic Western Shows and Events will not survive.
Wishing you all A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND AN EVEN BETTER NEW YEAR. ENJOY THE FESTIVITIES BUT PLEASE ALL STAY SAFE IN THE PROCESS.
Looking forward to seeing you all next year.
2010 Here we come!!
