Event Calendar –

ANNUAL AWARDS DINNER RECAP:  Well, I guess everyone who attended was pleased. The food was great, as was the entertainment by Western singer Will Dudley. (Thanks to the Stevensons & Quinns for sponsoring Will’s performance.)

Also, congratulations to Dr Beverly Billingsley, 2011 TMC Adult Amateur First Level champion, riding Apple Latte, to Gabriella Guinn, 2011 TMC Junior Training Level Reserve Champion, riding Bronco Billee, and to Rose Williams, 2011BVS Pony Club Introductory Level Champion, and TMC Junior Training Level Champion, riding A Touch of Blue.

We look forward to seeing all exhibitors (and volunteers,) at our 2012 shows.

2012 CALIFORNIA DRESSAGE SOCIETY ADULT AMATEUR CLINIC:  Reminder, we will hold a drawing in January to choose our TMC rider and alternates for the Southern Region Clinic. It will be held in Highland, CA near San Bernardino in May (dates tbd.) The clinician this year will be Jan Ebeling. More details on the clinic are available at http://california-dressage.org/PDF_files/AdultAmateurClinics2012.pdf.

As previously, riders must be current 2012 CDS members, Adult Amateur  (no Juniors or Young Riders.) Tehachapi Mountain Chapter pays the $150 clinic registration fee and will reimburse our participating rider for boarding fees.  Riders are responsible for mileage, motels, and meals. Let me know soon if you want to be in the drawing.

REITERATION: MAILING ADDRESS CHANGE: For the benefit of those who have not heard, the PMB 196 mail box came very close to causing us major grief before the September show, with EIGHT entries misplaced. Had the incorrect recipient not checked her box, over 40% of our entries would not have been received. This situation is just not acceptable. We cannot close the mail box contract part way through the year, but we can abandon its use. We will immediately begin using our home address (30000 S Lower Valley Rd Tehachapi, CA 93561,) for all correspondence. All CDS Omnibus information, CDS contact address, and entry forms for 2012 will be changed as well.
