General Meeting
Sagebrush Mocksville 1/15/2012
25 people attended the general meeting at the
Sagebrush. At 2:48, while waiting for our meals to be served Penny B
started the meeting. The Agenda, membership list General & Safety
Rules and survey was passed out. Penny introduced the officers for the
next 2 years and thanked the officers who were leaving the board for their
service. Tonya our new Treasurer reported we have a balance of $2,444.41
in the checking account, with our biggest expense of insurance coming up.
I wrote a check for the insurance, ($875.00) since Tonya has not been
signed on to the account as of this date.
Penny reminded people our board meetings are open,
but we need to know ahead of time if you are coming and definitely need to
know if you wish to speak at a meeting.
Faith presented our member of the year award to Pat
Granzyk, who has been our treasurer from the very beginning of this club
in 2005. Congratulations Pat you earned it.
Penny went over our schedule of events. Megahn Moore
wanted to know more about the ADT in May at Paradox, so Nancy explained
what we will be doing; Dressage test to be announced, Cones and 4
obstacles. Penny reminded us we need an active core of volunteers to run
some of these events, so if you are unable to drive, please volunteer. The
volunteers “make the day” we couldn’t do it without you and we do
appreciate you. I talked about
Hamby Creek, Marilyn Colvin and I have ridden the trails and they are very
carriage accessable with the exception of a couple of trails. I have a map
and we plan on re riding it with other carriage drivers to double check
for safety/access. Nancy & PennyB volunteered to ride with us. There
is a VERY LARGE parking lot, a shelter but no tables, a porta potty and
the Davidson County Horseman’s Association is working on a small arena
for a warm up area. I am thinking we
could possibly make this a poker ride/drive with a 50/50 pot and split the
clubs half with the DCHA for upkeep on their trail. We have June &
September open for events. Kai talked about what he and Tommy are
planning for the Driving Essentials scheduled for April 21. Carriage
maintenance session, what to have in a “spares kit”, what IS a spares
kit? etc, with a drive afterwards. Kai also said he talked to the Yadkin
Valley Hounds about driving on their fox hunting trails, but most of their
trails are not wide enough for us. Pat Granzyk has volunteered to talk to
Jim Burnette about a drive on his property in Oak Hill either Sept or
June. Nancy said we are all welcome to come drive or ride at Paradox
anytime, it does not have to be a WWDC Event.
At this point most of our dinners started to arrive
so we postponed the rest of the meeting.
Megahn Moore said her husband Jay (VET) is going to
be holding a Coggins clinis2/11/2012 form 9-12 at Indian Hill Lane across
from Lebanon Church, Thompson road. Horse Vaccines: Coggins $18, Flu/Rhino
$18, EWT $12, Rabies $10, WN $23. For more information call Jay
704-267-9571. A rabies clinic will be held at the Woodleaf Fire Department
2/12/2012 at 1 pm Dog/Cat Rabies $7.00 DHPP $10.00 FURCP $????
Megahn also mentioned something about a Mini clinic
at Paradox. I didn’t catch that info.
Nancy would like to start a “Mini Quadrille team”
and sent around a signup sheet for anyone who is interested. She said she
does have some “extra” minis
if anyone who does not have a mini is interested in signing up. There is a
mini show at Oakridge 4/7/12 and thought we might be able to get something
together by then. If you signed up for this we hare going to have a
meeting at Nancy’s next Saturday the 21st at 10:00am
We adjourned at 3:58 and socialized.
NOTE: we will hold a brief BOD meeting at the
Valentine event.
Tonya has a wooden pony easy entry cart and harness
for sale.
CCC Info:
Here
is the first edition of the CCC and surrounding area calendar. I
wanted you to have the draft for the WWDC planning meeting. We
are also planning to add clinics with Robin Groves, Tom Simmons,
Amy Neary, and more with Sue Hrizuk.
Please
note that our ADT here at the farm will host the judge Suzy Stafford and
we will have clinics with her following the ADT and possibly the next day
depending on the interest. Please feel free to spread the word as we
hope this event will be a great warm up for the CCC HDT. I think
Suzy's price will be $75 an hour and we may have to add a few bucks onto
that for gas...not sure yet but I will keep you up to date on that as I
would love for the clinic to fill. We have her booked for the event
I just need to hash out the money details.
Hope
everything is going well for you and you had a great holiday season!
