UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN COACHING
UKCC  INTERACTIVE TASTER AND INTRODUCTION DAY
Led by Jill Day with Jenny Ward
MONDAY 11 JUNE 2012 – 10am – 3pm(approx.)
At Brampton Stables, Stables Lane, Church Brampton, Northampton NN6 8BH
 
Jill Day is a former British Dressage Director of Training and one of BD’s most senior Coach Educators and Assessor.
Jenny Ward is a Coach Educator and Assessor and Central Region Coaching Delegate.
 
This day is designed to give a “hands-on” approach to the UKC Certificate covering parts of topics at both Level 2 and Level 3.
 
There will be an opportunity to put your coaching skills into practise but it is all very informal and hopefully interactive. If you are not sure which level might be suitable for you then this is your chance to find out and to ask any questions you may have.
 
This is a day purely for the Region’s coaches and any other interested parties and a perfect opportunity to pitch your coaching skills amongst friends!
 
Guinea pig riders will be provided but there will be absolutely no pressure to teach unless you want to and every opportunity to learn.
 
We have managed to subsidise this workshop  and offer it to you at only £20 for the day including tea, coffee & biscuits.  Please feel free to bring along a packed lunch.
 
Cheques payable to British Dressage with course details & your contact details to be written on the reverse of the cheque and send to me please.
 
We are limited to 15 places only so please book early with me.

AN INTRODUCTION TO PARA EQUESTRIAN by WAVENEY LUKE
Hi, I am the Para Delegate for the Central Region.  I hope that all the Para riders will help me in promoting our sport and working with our wonderful Para riders.  My aim is to help the Para movement continue to progress in our region and as a member of the Para committee nationally.  I want to help you realise your dreams and ambitions, find the training you need, competitions at good venues and  to support you with information and advice  if you need it.  I hope to be at as many Para competitions as I can and will be glad to talk to you on the telephone or by email if you think I can be of help in any way.  
Many, congratulations to our Central England Para Team for winning Gold at the Para Home International this weekend (20/21st August) at Vale View EC. Our winning team was made up of Tamsin Addison, Alex Sutton & Natasha Atkinson. Well done guys!
